New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas has revealed one of the final things agreed in order to finally acquire Aaron Rodgers.
The iconic quarterback stated his desire to leave the Green Bay Packers in the offseason for a stint in the Big Apple. His wish was granted as news of the blockbuster deal emerged on Monday, which included a 13th overall draft selection, a 2nd rounder and 1st round pick swap this year and a sixth rounder, in addition to a conditional 1st rounder in 2024, all being given to the Packers.
The condition is that the 2011 Super Bowl winner features in at least 65% of the Jets' plays next season. In addition to Rodgers, the Jets received the No. 15 overall pick and a fifth-rounder in this year’s draft. Perhaps the one downside of the trade for the Jets is that they have now moved down two spots in the upcoming NFL Draft, where they intend to acquire a defensive linesman. “
