Depending who you ask, the two most likely suitors the Green Bay Packers have for QB Aaron Rodgers are the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders.

But it's not just which suitor wants the Packers quarterback the most, but rather which can provide them with the best possible avenue.

For example, one team may be offering one more first-round pick than the other, but it gets complicated when factoring Rodgers contract and if a team is willing to take on the entirety.

Currently, the Raiders have six draft picks this spring and the Jets have six. Also, the Raiders have around $20 million more in cap space than the Jets.

The Jets could make the trade interesting as they have draft capitol as well as tradable players to essentially cancel out the cap hits. I.E. including players like Carl Lawson or Corey Davis as part of the trade package.

Former Green Bay Packers Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is with the Jets, while clearly Rodgers' most accomplished weapon of his career, Davante Adams in waiting for him on the Strip.

The Aaron Rodgers trade is going to likely come down to these two teams once the new league year starts. If the Green Bay Packers want to get the most for this transaction, it won't be just a simple matter of draft capital.
