Trade Overview
In April 2023, the Green Bay Packers traded quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. The deal sent Rodgers to the Jets in exchange for a conditional 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick. The first-round pick became a second-rounder after Rodgers played in at least 70 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps.
Terms and Compensation
The Jets gave up a 2023 first-round selection and a 2024 fourth-round selection. Green Bay received a first-round pick that could convert to a second if Rodgers met playing-time conditions. Rodgers also agreed to restructure his contract to help New York manage salary cap space.
Impact and Context
Rodgers joined a Jets team that had won the AFC East the previous season and already featured a strong supporting cast. The trade signaled a clear commitment by New York to compete for a Super Bowl immediately. For Green Bay, the move cleared cap space and opened a window for a younger quarterback.
