The Jets need to find the missing piece
The Jets are not in an unfamiliar position as far as buying a QB from Green Bay Packers is concerned. They brought Brett Favre from the Packers in a similar position fifteen years ago. The QB sustained an injury midseason and the Jets never recovered. Even though the previous situation turned unfavourable, the Jets will be eyeing a positive change this time around. Consequently, Aaron Rodgers might just provide the key shift the Jets are looking out for.
It is predicted that the Jets would go hard at securing Aaron Rodgers. The trade would be valued at $59.5 million since Aaron Rodgers still has one year left in his contract with the Packers. To the advantage of the Jets, the cap hit for the new team would be an estimated $13.8 million. So, the Packers QB might after all end up with the Jets.
If and When Aaron Rodgers arrives
The Packers QB at 39, is looking for his next ticket in the NFL. Although A-Rod is still undecided about his future at the Packers, he could benefit from a change. If Rodgers were to play at the New York Jets, he would be walking into a familiar setting with Hackett in the coaching unit. The presence of Hackett could tilt the table in favour of the Jets obtaining the Packers QB. A player of the Rodgers capability can be the anchor to restructuring the team at the Jets.
