Why Jets' trade for Aaron Rodgers shows cautious optimism about QB's future

It looks like a lot. It does. Not egregious, but certainly more compensation than some expected.

The Jets wanted Aaron Rodgers from the Packers. On Monday, they got him (and the No. 170 pick). The cost? A first-round pick swap (No. 13 for No. 15) and parting with the No. 42 and 207 selections this year, along with a conditional second-round pick that will likely become a first-round pick next.

Again: It’s a lot. It’s the type of move a team makes when they’re going all-in on a season.
