After several months of rumors and negotiations, the New York Jets have a franchise quarterback. 

The Green Bay Packers agreed to trade Rodgers to the Jets on Monday, ending the four-time MVP’s 18-year career playing in front of the fans at Lambeau Field.

In order to acquire Rodgers, the Jets will send the 13th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2023 second-round pick, a 2023 sixth-round pick, and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that becomes a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays in 2023. 

PACKERS GM BREAKS SILENCE ON AARON RODGERS TRADE

Green Bay will send the 15th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft and a 2023 fifth-round pick to New York. 

And while ESPN’s analyst Robert Griffin III thinks the acquisition makes the Jets Super Bowl contenders, the Heisman Trophy winner thinks the Packers got the better end of the deal. 

"The Jets are BONAFIDE Super Bowl contenders now, but that doesn’t change the fact that they got ABSOLUTELY FLEECED on this trade," Griffin posted. "Packers are getting a better fist [sic] round pick this year, a 2nd rounder this year, and a more than likely 1st rounder next year for 1-2 years of Rodgers."
