Aaron Rodgers rumors, theoretical trades, and other rhetoric has now become a regular part of the Green Bay Packers offseason. Indeed, until Rodgers himself announces what his plans are for 2023, there will continue to be talk of what the Packers should do regarding their quarterback situation. There are many fans and analysts who believe that the best course of action, for both parties, would be for the Packers to trade the four-time MVP quarterback. One analyst, Connor Orr of Sports Illustrated, believes that the New York Jets would be the best fit for the future Hall of Famer.
Connor Orr Encourages the Jets to “Embrace Weirdness” and Get Aaron Rodgers
There is a great deal being written about Aaron Rodgers potentially being traded to the Jets. Not only is this because of Rodgers’ own phenomenal career, but also because Brett Favre was traded to the Jets so the Packers could move onto a young Aaron Rodgers.
In his article, Orr writes that Rodgers is has the highest ceiling of any other quarterback on the free agent market. Additionally, a change of scenery in New York could be beneficial for both sides:
“With a healthy season, invigorated by a new place, Rodgers could break the Jets out of a Colts-ian future (frustratingly talented and well-coached, but without the requisite oomph at the quarterback position to make it over the postseason speed bump). This is a team that has not been noticeably elevated by play at the position since 2008, when it made the similarly bold choice to trade for Brett Favre. This is a team still set up to run a version of the same offense that produced back-to-back MVP seasons for Rodgers in his late 30s. Simply finding different ways to feed Garrett Wilson on time and on target would put the Jets on pace to be a top-10 offense.”
We will definitely see what happens, and there are more than a few rumors tying Rodgers to the Jets. However, it all depends on if Rodgers himself even wants to play in 2023.
