The stipulations of the trade required that Rodgers play 65% of the Jets’ offensive snaps this season for Green Bay to receive a 2024 first-round pick.
The Packers and Jets also swapped first-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft in the Rodgers trade, with Green Bay also sending a 2023 fifth-rounder in the deal and the Jets sending back second- and sixth-rounders in 2023.
Rodgers suffered the ruptured Achilles on the Jets’ fourth play from scrimmage Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.
Despite falling behind 13-3, the Jets rallied to win in overtime on rookie Xavier Gipson’s 65-yard walk-off punt return in OT.
