The Green Bay Packers are looking to trade Aaron Rodgers, there is no doubt about that. Where he is traded, however, is slowly becoming more of a question mark. It has been over three weeks since Aaron Rodgers declared he intends to play for the New York Jets in 2023. However, with seemingly no progress toward that trade actually happening, multiple other teams have reportedly entered the mix for the four-time MVP quarterback. Now there are reports that a contender could possibly swap their current QB for four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Baltimore Ravens Could Swap Lamar Jackson For Aaron Rodgers
According to Matt Lombardo:
The Ravens are embroiled in a standoff of their own with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson.
There is some belief inside league circles that after using the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, that the Ravens could ultimately wind up trading the 2019 NFL MVP, and that the Indianapolis Colts could be “the leaders in the clubhouse,” according to multiple sources.
So, where does that leave the Ravens at quarterback?
If Baltimore is able to pry away a first-round pick from the Colts, who are scheduled to pick No. 4 overall, the Ravens could conceivably come away from Round 1 of this year’s draft with whoever remains among C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson among the top quarterback prospects in this year’s class.
However, this is a roster that’s built to compete today in the AFC North, and with a healthy Jackson or Rodgers could be the biggest challengers to the Cincinnati Bengals within the division.
Might general manager Eric DeCosta float the idea of trading Baltimore’s own first-round pick, No. 22 overall, to the Packers for Rodgers and flip Jackson for the Colts’ pick? This would allow Baltimore to add an elite defender, with an MVP-pedigree quarterback to make a run at the Super Bowl in 2023 and perhaps 2024.
For Green Bay, a trade with the Ravens would get Rodgers out of the NFC, and perhaps net a premium asset in return.
The Green Bay Packers flipping to the Baltimore Ravens in regards to trading Aaron Rodgers would be league altering. Garnering a first round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is an ideal scenario for the Green Bay Packers. The New York Jets seem to be stead fast on not giving up the 13th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, however, if the Green Bay Packers were able to be offered one elsewhere they would have to consider it.
