The New York Jets acquired Aaron Rodgers in a trade and here is all you need to know about his contract, salary, net worth in 2023
On March 15, Aaron Rodgers declared his plan to sign with the New York Jets, the deal which everyone waited for.
The Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets took some time to reach an agreement. The inevitable has finally happened: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Packers and Jets completed a trade agreement on Monday that will go down in NFL history
According to Schefter, if Aaron Rodgers plays 65 percent of the Jets’ offensive snaps in the future season, the Packers will receive the 13th, 42nd, and 207th overall picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday, as well as a 2024 second-round pick that will become a first-round pick.
The Jets also receive the 15th overall pick in the first round and the 170th pick in the fifth round in 2023 in addition to Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers New York Jets contract details, salary, net worth in 2023, jersey number
The source claims that Rodgers will no longer wear the No. 12 jersey he wore for 18 seasons in Green Bay and would instead wear No. 8.
Hall of Fame Jets quarterback Joe Namath gave Rodgers permission to wear No. 12, but he ultimately decided to wear Cal’s jersey number.
The Jets have hired Robert Saleh as their next head coach. Saleh is known for both his defensive skill and his ability to inspire his players. Rodgers and Saleh may get along well, despite Rodgers’ conflicts with his previous Green Bay coaches.
The Jets, on the other hand, are not viewed as ready-made rivals due to their various roster weaknesses and difficult division with the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.
Rodgers would be under a lot of pressure and scrutiny to turn around a squad that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2010.
They also have a history of inefficiency and mediocrity, which can annoy Rodgers and affect his performance.
In addition, the Jets have struggled to keep and advance their best players, such as Jamal Adams and Le’Veon Bell.
