The New York Jets officially got the four-time National Football League most valuable player Aaron Rodgers after agreeing a deal with the Green Bay Packers that includes a swap of key draft picks, General Manager Joe Douglas said on Tuesday.
Under the agreement for 39-year-old Rodgers, Green Bay will trade their 2023 first-round draft pick (15th overall) and their fifth-round pick for the Jets’ first-round pick (13th overall), second-round and sixth-round picks, according to ESPN.
“Obviously, we’re comfortable with how this deal shaped,” Douglas said. “I don’t think anyone ever walks away from a negotiation where you feel like you won everything in terms of what’s gone back and forth. Our goal from the beginning was to add Aaron to the team, so we were able to get that. We agreed to terms yesterday and we’re just excited to bring him here.”, Douglas added.
