While Rodgers has undoubtedly been one of the best quarterbacks in the league, he might be reaching his career’s twilight years. At the age of 39, Rodgers is one of the oldest active quarterbacks. Keeping this in mind, one might wonder how much the Jets should be giving away for him. Interestingly, analysts like Stephen A Smith think that the Jets should be willing to give up two different first-round picks for Rodgers.

Griffin went on to mention that the suggested price would be too much for a player like Rodgers who might be retiring after a year or two. Furthermore, he also suggested an interesting alternative.
