Weeks removed from Aaron Rodgers’ announcement that he intends to play for the Jets, a trade with the Packers has yet to materialize.
However, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk says Green Bay has made a major concession in negotiations that could grease the wheels for a transaction in the not too distant future.
Here’s what Florio had to say on the “Pat McAfee Show“:
They’re no longer demanding No. 13 overall in 2023. I think they’re going to get: second-round pick from the Jets this year, second-round pick next year that could become a first-round pick depending upon what the Jets do with Aaron Rodgers this year… And on the backend: possibility that the Jets get something back from the Packers if he only plays one year.

The NFL world reacted to Florio’s update on social media.
“Unreasonable and irrational are two words I’ve heard from the Jets in relation to what the Packers demands were,” McAfee quoted.

“Good because that’s an unrealistic ask at this point of Rodgers career,” a user said.
