The New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, and Aaron Rodgers could be on the brink of a massive trade. Recently, trade rumors have swirled regarding his 2023 team all off-season. Those trade rumors certainly heated up after Aaron Rodgers reportedly spoke with the New York Jets about a potential trade. Since those conversations, the Jets made a pretty significant move to clear up some cap space.
New York Jets Release Wide Receiver Braxton Berrios
According to Adam Schefter:
Jets are releasing Wide Receiver Braxton Berrios at the start of the league year next week, per source. The two sides discussed a restructuring of his contract but were unable to reach agreement. His release will save $5 million against Jets’ cap.
Braxton Berrios has spent the last four seasons with the New York Jets. Many presume this move was to make more cap room for an Aaron Rodgers trade. ESPN’s Dianna Russini tweeted out several interesting updates regarding the meeting between Rodgers and the Jets’ brass:
“In the wake of an extensive in-person meeting between Aaron Rodgers & New York Jets brass, including owner Woody Johnson, there’s optimism in the Jets’ organization that they are on the brink of landing the future Hall of Fame QB, sources close to the situation tell ESPN.
“While optimism existed before the California meeting, Woody Johnson felt it was important to meet in person, sources said. Johnson left the meeting excited and satisfied about the potential match.
“As the Jets internally are working under an optimism that this will happen, the Jets and the Packers remain engaged in conversations about compensation and contract, sources said. Those conversation already started before the meeting.
“And so now, we wait to see if the Jets can close a deal to bring a future Hall of Famer from Green Bay to New York.”
