Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

An offseason trade of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains an option for a variety of reasons, and league sources believe that the Packers actually would prefer to trade him, just as they once did with Brett Favre late in his career. The same sources believe that Rodgers is well aware of the franchise's feelings on the situation. The future Hall of Fame QB remains undecided on his playing future yet again but also said a trade "wouldn't offend me, and it wouldn't make me feel like a victim." Green Bay is currently projected to be more than $16 million over the 2023 salary cap, and they have plenty of impending free agents. Rodgers is guaranteed $59.5 million in 2023 and another $49.25 million in 2024. A Rodgers trade would allow Jordan Love to jump into the starting role under center, while a change of scenery could boost Rodgers' fantasy appeal to end his career.

The Green Bay Packers could explore trading quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason, but they will not trade him within the NFC Conference. Rodgers is also considering retirement for the third straight season after missing the postseason following his three-year, $150 million contract extension. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract either, so the Packers won't need his direct permission to trade him, at least contractually. Green Bay will be up against the salary cap in 2023 and would free up around $60 million if they trade Rodgers. While he doesn't have a full no-trade clause, the Packers would likely work with Rodgers and trade him to a team that he approves. The New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders would make the most sense in the AFC.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that there's a possibility the Green Bay Packers trade quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason. Rodgers' salary cap numbers the next two seasons combined are $48.3 million, which is manageable, but the Packers will likely want at least two first-round picks in return. New York Jets owner Woody Johnson already said he won't spare expenses to land a veteran QB if the opportunity presents itself. It would likely come down to Rodgers accepting a trade to New York, but he could be persuaded if the Jets hire his former offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer struggled in 2022, but he'd be a bit more interesting with a move to a Jets team that has more explosive offensive pieces already in place.
