Jets would face a massive hurdle to acquire Trevor Lawrence from Jaguars
Trading for Trevor Lawrence is easier said than done.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have Trevor Lawrence under contract through 2030 but that hasn’t stopped analysts from floating the idea of trading for him. Just recently, Diana Russini of The Athletic brought up the former Clemson Tiger as a potential heir apparent to Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets.
Russini broke the news that Rodgers isn’t guaranteed to return to New York in 2025 and mentioned Lawrence, along with other quarterbacks, as possible replacements.
Keep in mind that Russini isn’t the only analyst that sees the Jets as a potential destination for Lawrence. Troy Brock of New York Jets on Sports Illustrated also mentioned the Jaguars quarterback as a “realistic option” to replace Rodgers.
Expected to bounce back after hurting his Achilles after playing just four snaps in 2023, Rodgers has been underwhelming this season and is a big reason New York is 3-8 heading into Week 12. Russini broke the news that Jets owner Woody Johnson suggested benching him at one point and went on to say that the former league MVP isn’t guaranteed to return in 2025. That brings us to Lawrence.
