Peter King has a wild Aaron Rodgers offseason commerce thought, however wouldn’t it work?

In his Monday morning column, NBC’s Peter King revealed an offseason commerce thought involving Aaron Rodgers which might’ve been unthinkable a number of months in the past.

Aaron Rodgers and the Inexperienced Bay Packers are struggling. It’s no main secret.

Inexperienced Bay was favored to win the NFC North by a large margin earlier than the beginning of the common season, however 11 weeks in, the Packers sit in third place with a 4-7 report after a loss to the Titans final Thursday evening.

Rodgers has been a serious a part of that, as he’s regarded far much less efficient this 12 months with out prime huge receiver Davante Adams within the fold. Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders earlier than the season after it was made clear by Packers brass that they wouldn’t match his asking value on a brand new contract.

Rodgers is 38 years previous, and it’s unclear how a lot of a future he has within the NFL, not to mention Inexperienced Bay. His ardour for the sport not consists of mentoring younger huge receivers, or Jordan Love. He’s proven his playing cards there, and frustration as well. Might a transfer be so as this offseason?

Might the Packers commerce Aaron Rodgers?

At one level unthinkable, Rodgers struggles — and his contract for that matter — might make Inexperienced Bay not less than entertain some presents. No. 12 is unlikely to fetch a number of first-round picks, as he’s taken a serious step again in 2022. Reuniting him with Davante Adams, nonetheless, might present a much-needed jolt for a quarterback only a 12 months faraway from back-to-back MVP trophies.

Peter King theorized {that a} commerce may very well be on the horizon, ought to Rodgers and Inexperienced Bay proceed their dropping methods:

“I believe it won’t be altogether nonsensical to contemplate buying and selling Rodgers to Las Vegas for Derek Carr and a third-round decide. Would possibly being an important phrase there. Miles to go earlier than you attain a choice like that, nevertheless it has crossed my thoughts.”

With that in thoughts, right here’s what the commerce would appear to be:

Raiders Get

QB, Aaron Rodgers

Packers Get

QB, Derek Carr

2023 third-round decide

I’m going to veto this commerce, for now.

Each of those groups might look to maneuver on from their respective quarterbacks this offseason. Vegas has given Derek Carr loads of alternatives, whereas Inexperienced Bay has their QB of the longer term in Jordan Love using pine. Maybe it’s time to offer Love a shot, and including Carr would solely push his begin date again and stunt his growth additional.

Additionally — is Rodgers actually that dangerous?

Certain, the step again has been famous, however simply final offseason he was anticipated to fetch a pair first-round picks. A 3rd rounder feels low, and including Carr in isn’t essentially a priceless asset contemplating how badly the Raiders wish to transfer on.

If a Rodgers commerce does occur, Vegas is sensible. However this commerce setup as at present constructed seems like a no-go. Let’s return to the drafting board.
