Aaron Rodgers has seemingly not wavered on wanting out of Green Bay. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer spoke with some executives around the league to get an idea of a potential return for the Packers.
With the Broncos being the most talked about team, a potential package could look like this, per Breer:
- QB Drew Lock
- DE Bradley Chubb
- G Dalton Risner
- 2022 first round pick, 2022 second round pick
- 2023 first round pick, 2023 second round pick
- 2024 first round pick
Yahoo! Sports NFL insider Charles Robinson heard from some anonymous league executives that the return for a player like Aaron Rodgers could be steep, but not many teams would be willing to give up so much.
“Almost every trade scenario I’ve seen involving Rodgers from analysts includes three first-round draft picks and one or two high-caliber starters. All six of the executives found that to be rich, especially given that the acquiring team would be expected to do a new league-leading deal with the QB.
Now, I want to be clear here: That doesn’t mean the Packers can’t get that kind of package. But the consensus from the executives was that there might be only one team willing to make that kind of “all-in” commitment in a trade, and the picks would be assumed to be of late first-round value.”
Adding Aaron Rodgers would make any team a Super Bowl contender, but a team would have to be willing to mortage their future for years to come in order to do so.
