Doesn’t this need to be part of a Rodgers trade? Dan Leberfeld

Doesn’t this need to be factored into the trade compensation?

Talking about whether Aaron Rodgers plays in 2024-25. That should certainly factor into his trade value, don’t you think?

You don’t want to break the bank for a one-year rental if that is what it turns out to be.

So let’s say the Jets do agree to give up their 2023 first-round pick, 13th overall, for Rodgers, I do think they need to get back a fairly high conditional pick, in 2024, if Rodgers retires after one season. Maybe not a first-round pick, but maybe a 2 or 3.

If Rodgers, a four-time MVP, plays two full seasons for the Jets, some would argue he’s worth a first-round pick.

However, the Jets need to protect themselves if he turns into a one-year rental and retires after the 2023-24 season.

It makes no sense to give up a first-round pick, if that is indeed what the Packers want, without protection, if the player only plays one season for you.
