Potential trade piece in the Aaron Rodgers deal, Elijah Moore, has been traded to the Cleveland Browns.
The deal also has New York swapping a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for a second-rounder. The Browns now have the 74th overall selection along with Moore and New York receives the 42nd pick in return.
This move comes just mere hours after the New York Jets signed former Chief Mecole Hardman. With all the mystery surrounding the Rodgers negotiations it’s hard to tell what any of these moves mean, but Bill Huber of SI is among many who believes it creates a path to a deal for thee two teams.
“That trade creates a new path to a potential Packers-Jets blockbuster.
If New York doesn’t want to trade its first-round pick, No. 13 overall, because it needs to add a left tackle to a championship-caliber team, it could send the two second-rounders to Green Bay instead.
As it stands, the Jets now hold the 11th and 12th picks of the second round – Nos. 42 and 43 overall. Based on the Rich Hill trade value chart, the combined total of those picks is worth 280 points. That’s approximately the value of the 19th overall selection. Based on the Jimmy Johnson model, the Jets’ second-rounders are worth 950 points. That’s worth the 17th overall pick.”
Stay tuned.
