Aaron Rodgers Rumored Move to Have a Ripple Effect on Chicago Bears’ 2023 Plans
Follow Us
It is believed that Aaron Rodgers played his last game against the Chicago Bears in Week 13. It is also widely believed that the Green Bay Packers will trade their starting quarterback. And if the rumors are true, then his move will have a knock-on effect on the team and the divisional rival he has owned since 2008.
A-Rod has been wayward as ever. Nobody knows his next move. But if he decides to leave the Packers and look for a new landing spot, then the Bears will have to sustain the ripple effects.
How can Aaron Rodgers bring a change to the Bears if the Packers trade him?

Poles and the Bears have gained the most important piece of the offseason with the No. 1 pick. The general consensus is that the Bears will eventually trade the pick for multiple first-round picks, drop a few spots, and still land a top-tier defensive player.

But that only happens after the veteran QBs like Tom Brady, A-Rod, Lamar Jackson, Derek Carr, etc have found landing spots for themselves. The trade market for the 1st pick will also get affected depending on where these big names would go. Along with that, these veteran shot-callers would want to go where a team believes they are only a quarterback away from contention. Therefore, teams like the Jets, Raiders, Commanders, and Saints are a good fit for them.
According to NBC Sports, the Colts and Texans will engage in a bidding war to bag C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young. The Jets have built a powerful lot and only need a talented QB to give them the titles they desire. Hence, “the Jets would seem like the best potential landing spot for the spotlight-craving, attention-loving superstar.”

But if the Packers do not trade him, the Jets can make a similar move to the 49ers, who moved up from No. 12 to No. 3 in 2021 to choose Trey Lance.
But that’s just one example of how a Rodgers deal, whether it happens or not, may cause a ripple effect that brings in unlikely teams to compete for the No. 1 choice.
