The Jets received Rodgers, the No. 15 overall pick and a fifth-round pick for the No. 13 overall pick, a second-rounder, a sixth-rounder and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that could become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of New York’s plays this season.
Rodgers is coming off a down year as he battled through injuries in 2022 with the Packers. He won the MVP award in 2020 and 2021.
