New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas has defended the assets his team have given up to acquire Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers.

On Monday, news emerged that the Packers had agreed to trade the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback along with their 2023 first-round pick (No 15 overall) and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No 170). In return they will receive the Jets’ 2023 first-round pick (No 13 overall), a 2023 second round pick (No 42), and a 2023 sixth-round pick (No 207). The Packers will also receive a conditional 2024 second-round pick that will become a first-rounder if Rodgers plays 65% of the Jets’ offensive snaps this season.
