Aaron Rodgers’ torn Achilles tendon will not just affect the New York Jets’ fortunes for the remainder of the 2023 season, it will also impact the 2024 draft order.<\/p>\n
The Green Bay Packers, who traded Rodgers to the Jets back in April, will now receive a second-round draft pick as part of the deal now that Rodgers is set to miss the final 16 games of the season.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Rodgers suffered the ruptured Achilles on the Jets’ fourth play from scrimmage Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
