Latest news

Jets QB Zach Wilson "on board" with red shirting for year or two

Albert Breer

Jets GM Joe Douglas spoke today about Zach Wilson learning behind Aaron Rodgers, and sources say Wilson has been very receptive to the idea of a redshirt year or two. The coaches have been open with him on the plan, and good dialogue has followed on it.

So Wilson's on board.

Fantasy Impact:

This news obviously doesn't make a difference in typical redraft leagues, but for SuperFlex Dynasty leagues, it could be important. If the Jets build the offense up around Rodgers, but he ends up leaving in a year or two, it only makes sense that it could benefit Wilson down the road. Of course, Wilson's ineptitude is what forced their hand in the first place, but we've seen weirder things than a quarterback learning under a Hall of Fame veteran.

Packers-Jets deal finally goes through for QB Aaron Rodgers

The Packers and Jets have agreed to the mega-trade, sending four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers to the Jets for major compensation. The deal includes a 2nd rounder this year, a 1st round pick swap this year, and a conditional 1st rounder in 2024.

Fantasy Impact:

The first domino of the NFL Draft falls and the long-awaited trade finally comes through. The Jets skill position group gets a major boost while the Packers load up while inevitably losing Rodgers.

Former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers expected to sign with New York Jets

Per Aaron Rodgers, he has made up his mind about his next move to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers will be reunited with OC Nathaniel Hackett, who he won his back-to-back MVPs with in Green Bay. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson should be in line for a huge workload, but it's worth mentioning that New York is set to bring in Allen Lazard and apparently even Randall Cobb. Over the past four seasons, the Packers have supported two top-40 running backs and four straight top-12 finishes for Aaron Jones.

All-in-all, the Jets offense should receive a massive boost over the quarterbacks they've been running out on the field the last two seasons.

Not yet official, but all signs pointing to an Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets

Pro Football Talk

Trey Wingo (who was the first to indicate the Jets had spoken to Aaron Rodgers last week) has tweeted that the deal is “done.” We’ve heard the same thing, albeit not quite as definitively.

Meanwhile, various Jets players are dropping hints about it on Twitter, from cornerback Sauce Gardner to running back Breece Hall to receiver Garrett Wilson to tackle Mekhi Becton.

The evidence is largely circumstantial. It hit our radar screen because Rodgers is involved in trying to persuade one or more free agents to join the Jets. Gardner hinted at “package deals” last week, if Rodgers were to accept a trade to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

There is enough smoke here to start processing the fantasy implications of an Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets. Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Corey Davis are all under contract, and all three would get a boost if Rodgers is under center in 2023. As for Rodgers, he'll have a chance to rebound from his QB15 finish last season, though he's still dealing with a relatively raw receiving corps. Davis is a productive vet, while Wilson was one of the top rookie receivers in 2022, so this does look like an upgrade from his weapons in Green Bay. Jordan Love will finally get his chance to start, though he's expected to be a downgrade from Rodgers in his first season as the starter. The Packers will likely try to establish a strong running game to take the pressure off of Love.
