Sources - Packers trade Aaron Rodgers to Jets for multiple picks

For the second time in 15 years, the Green Bay Packers are trading an aging icon to the New York Jets.

The Packers agreed Monday to deal quarterback Aaron Rodgers and their 2023 first-round pick (No. 15) and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No. 170) to the Jets for New York's 2023 first-round pick (No. 13), a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a 2023 sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that becomes a first if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays this season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Although Hall of Fame quarterback and Jets franchise icon Joe Namath gave Rodgers his blessing to wear No. 12, the new Jets quarterback is expected to wear No. 8 — the number he wore in college at Cal — a source told Schefter.

Four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers is headed from the Packers to the Jets in a blockbuster trade. The details:

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was hesitant to comment on the deal in much detail Monday, but — during his previously scheduled annual pre-draft news conference, which began shortly after news of the trade terms broke — he said there were still a few final details to be worked out. Among them likely is the fact that Rodgers still must take his physical.

Gutekunst said it was important to him for this deal to get done before the draft.

«It wouldn't have been the end of the world,» Gutekunst said. «But at the same time, I think it would have certainly changed things quite a bit. So, getting it done was important. I just think certainly the capital for this year was very important, certainly more valuable than future stuff, for our football team. So, there were a number of reasons, but that's why.»

The blockbuster comes 40 days after Rodgers announced on «The Pat McAfee Show»
