A trade sending Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets may not be contingent on him renegotiating his current contract, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
"Aaron Rodgers has that $58 million balloon payment that's due to him," Fowler said Sunday on SportsCenter. "I've asked around on if he would need a long-term deal, would he need it reworked? I don't get that sense right now that would be a requirement for a trade. So really, the Jets would be inheriting that money, and they can figure that all out as they go."
Some financial maneuvering will be required on New York's side one way or another to facilitate this deal.
