A blockbuster trade proposal has the New York Jets shaking up the 2024 NFL Draft by making a big move to help quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The club’s hopes of ending a lengthy playoff drought in 2023 ended once Rodgers went down with a season-ending Achilles tear in his New York debut against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. But New York Jets GM Joe Douglas has gone great lengths to give this team the best shot possible at winning a Super Bowl next season.

Douglas signed two-time 1,000-yard wide receiver Mike Williams following his release from the Los Angeles Chargers. Douglas also reshaped the o-line by acquiring John Simpson, Morgan Moses and future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith.

With the No. 10 pick in this week’s NFL Draft, the Jets are in a good position to find yet another stud offensive player to help Rodgers. And a fascinating trade proposal idea has Douglas going all-in to get another five-star playmaker for the four-time league MVP.

While speaking to “Turn On The Jets” podcaster Will Parkinson, ESPN’s Rich Cimini proposed a blockbuster trade idea with the Jets giving up the No. 8 pick from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for the No. 10, No. 111 and No. 134 selections.

Cimini then proposes the idea of the Jets taking Washington Huskies star wide receiver Rome Odunze before the Chicago Bears can grab him at No. 9, providing Rodgers with yet another prolific weapon.

In his final season at Washington, Odunze racked up 92 receptions for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns. He helped the Huskies to a national championship game appearance, where they fell to Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines.

Adding Rome Odunze Would Be The Perfect Move By New York Jets

Rome Odunze is one of the “big three” WR prospects in this year’s class, along with Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. and LSU’s Malik Nabers. Without a doubt, Odunze and Rodgers would quickly emerge as a must-watch show for the New York Jets.

Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Mike Williams are a nice set of playmakers for Rodgers to begin with. But Odunze is an elite prospect who’s drawn comparisons to Arizona Cardinals great Marvin Harrison Jr., and there’s no telling just how much he could go off in year one with an all-time great like Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football.

So if the price is reasonable, the New York Jets need to consider moving up and taking Odunze before another team like Chicago can get their hands on him.
