Jets quarterback Rodgers not at minicamp

It seems like the Packers could be willing to trade Rodgers, who signed a three-year, $150-million contract with Green Bay last offseason.

He is set to have a $31.6-million cap hit in 2023, according to Over The Cap.

Derek Carr signed with the New Orleans Saints, who previously met with the Jets. Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler are the only quarterbacks signed for 2023, as Joe Flacco and Mike White are scheduled to hit free agency.

The Jets hold the 13th overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft and have minus $1.7 million in cap space, per Over The Cap.

Rodgers started all 17 games for the Packers last season, throwing for 3,695 yards with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Green Bay finished 8-9 and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
