When the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets are going to come to an agreement on an Aaron Rodgers trade still remains an unknown. However, as salary cap guru Ken Ingalls points out, if we “follow the money,” we should expect it to be before June 1st.
The reason that June 1st is an important date in all of this is that instead of Rodgers’ dead cap hit for the 2023 season being $40.3 million, that figure would be spread out over the next two seasons if he’s traded after that date. This means that Rodgers’ dead cap hit for 2023 would be $15.8 million and then $24.5 million in 2024. Green Bay’s available cap space would also go from being at roughly $22 million to in the neighborhood of $37 million.
