I believe the only reason they hired Hackett as the OC was to help the Jets acquire Rodgers. Hackett wasn’t a hot commodity after his stint in Denver this past year and I’m sure there weren’t many teams knocking on his door to hire him. He really didn’t have great success previously as an OC with the Bills and Doug Marrone as the HC and EJ Manuel as their QB and Jax with Gus Bradley and Blake Bortels. In fact, both of those teams were much more successful running teams, not really the problem with the Jets offense in 2022. The Packers were really his first successful OC job, where he had an excellent relationship.with Rodgers.
I’m sure the the price to acquire Jackson would be much more than 2 first round picks. IMHO, I would bet it would cost them possibly up to 3 first round picks a couple of second rounders along with other young vet(s) for a former MVP in the absolute prime of his career. He is also one of the best rushing QBs in the NFL, one of the prerequisites of a successful 21st century QB. I would put the Jets odds of seriously pursuing Jackson at around 5%.
We need to have a little patience as it appears that neither the Jets or Packers are in any hurry to get this trade done before the draft.
