A trade that would see Aaron Rodgers reunited with an old teammate has been proposed for the New York Jets ahead of the quarterback’s second season with the team.
The Jets have done everything they can to put Rodgers in a position to succeed, but they could possibly get a bit more done in that regard.
Bleacher Report’s Christopher Knox recently outlined some trade ideas that reunite QBs with receivers they once played alongside. While much has been made over an Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams reunion, Knox points to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
“Naturally, many fans may want to link the Jets to former Green Bay Packers No. 1 receiver Davante Adams, but that’s not realistic,” Knox explains. “However, the Jets might be able to land another of Rodgers’ former Packers targets, if they’re willing to wait until the end of the summer. … [Valdes-Scantling] spent four seasons with Rodgers in Green Bay and could be a capable ancillary target for the Jets.”
While MVS wouldn’t be considered a marquee acquisition, such a trade would give the Jets some enviable depth at the receiver position.

MVS Enjoyed Some Of His Best Years Playing With Aaron Rodgers
The wideout was a fifth-round pick in 2018 but made a name for himself, earning decent playing time as a rookie before having a breakout year in 2020. He led the NFL in yards per reception with 20.9 while registering 690 yards and six touchdowns.
He signed a three-year deal worth $30 million with the Kansas City Chiefs after four impressive years with the Green Bay Packers. He didn’t continue in the same vein once in KC but was responsible for some key plays amid two Super Bowl runs.
The Chiefs released him as a cap casualty in February. He signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills in May.
