After leaving the NFL world in the dark after his ‘darkness retreat’, Aaron Rodgers finally gave fans a clear idea about the way he wants to move forward with his career. Fans have been patiently waiting for A-Rod’s decision regarding his future in the NFL. Recently in the Pat McAfee show, the 39-year-old quarterback made it public that he wants to continue his career while playing for the New York Jets. After 18 long years, it seems like the Packers are finally moving on from their four-time MVP quarterback. But the trade is not as simple as it looks, as there is a lot of speculation going around regarding Rodgers’ value in the market.
While the Green Bay Packers feel that A-Rod is worth a first-round pick, other teams in the NFL feel otherwise.
The Aaron Rodgers value debate

The Jets are keen on signing the QB because of the lack of options in the QB market in this trade window. However, the Packers have made themselves clear about what they expect from them if they want a trade for Rodgers. They want a first-round pick, no.13 overall for this year. And if Rodgers decides to play another year for the Jets, the Packers are looking for another pick in 2025.
However, teams in the NFL are eyeing Rodgers’s value in the market differently than the Packers. Teams that are not linked with A-Rod opened up about how they feel that the QB is worth a Day 2 pick plus a compensatory pick or two in the backend. This settlement brings down the value of Aaron Rodgers in the market, while other teams feel that it is a fair price being quoted by the Packers.
