NFL Trade Rumors: Packers' asking price for Aaron Rodgers revealed
Aaron Rodgers' future with the Green Bay Packers is undecided as all options are on the table. He thinks that he can still play at an MVP level in the right situation, but the Packers might look to move on from him.
Jordan Love is waiting for his opportunity and other teams in the NFL are more than eager to trade for Rodgers. As per Peter King of NBC Sports, the Packers are seeking at least two first-round picks in return for Rodgers, and the New York Jets could be willing to pay that price.
Whether Rodgers wants to go to the New York Jets or not remains to be seen, but the Green Bay Packers could benefit from getting two first-round picks for an aging Rodgers.
The #Packers will want at least two 1st round picks in a trade for QB Aaron Rodgers, Peter King shares in his column.
King adds that #Jets owner Woody Johnson would happily pay that price. The question remains if Rodgers even wants to play for NY. https://t.co/BO7UHPpOGM
The Packers quarterback had an underwhelming season, and people believe it's the right time for the franchise to hand over the keys to Jordan Love.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games this season. The Packers losing Davante Adams certainly played a huge part in it.
Rodgers could be willing to leave the Packers if he thinks any other team is right for him, and the Jets could be that team for various reasons.
New York Jets will be perfect for Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers hasn't had the luxury of playing on a team with great defense too often in his career, but the Jets could provide him with that opportunity. The Jets have one of the best defenses in the NFL and would have made the playoffs this year if they had a good quarterback.
The Jets also have a chunk of talented young players on the offensive side as well. Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Breece Hall will cherish the opportunity to play with a quarterback like Rodgers.

The situation in New York is much better than in Green Bay, and for a famous player like Rodgers, living in a city like New York will be better for his brand as well.
He could easily finish off his career in New York and then immediately jump into the next phase of his life quite easily. The Jets should absolutely go all-in to get Aaron Rodgers if the quarterback is willing to join them.
