It’s been just over a week since the Jets officially traded for longtime Packers star Aaron Rodgers to be their new starting quarterback ahead of the 2023 NFL season.

And the hype is already building around another award-winning campaign for the future Hall-of-Fame passer.

The four-time MVP winner is dealing at 16/1 to add a fifth trophy to his mantle – tied with Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson for the eighth-shortest odds on the board at BetMGM.

That’s a far cry from his opening price of 25/1 back in February, though it still lags behind his preseason price of 10/1 ahead of last season, which was ultimately his swan song in Green Bay.

Historically, backing Rodgers to win this award has been a pretty good bet.

His four MVPs rank second in NFL history behind only Peyton Manning (5), and he’s won the award two of the last three seasons – joining Patrick Mahomes as the only players with multiple MVPs since Rodgers won his first back in 2011.

Still, there’s a reason he’s dealing at a worse price now than he was at this time last year.

The 39-year-old passer posted career lows in QBR (39.3), passer rating (91.1) and yards per game (217.4) in 2022, and his 26 touchdown passes were tied for his second-fewest across a full healthy season despite starting 17 games for the first time in his career.

Can he rediscover his MVP form in a new locale?

He’ll be surrounded by more weapons than he was a year ago, namely receiver Garrett Wilson (1,103 yards) – who won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2022 – and star rusher Breece Hall (5.8 YPC), who might have won the award had he stayed healthy.

That said, young talent hasn’t exactly flourished around Rodgers, who was notoriously hostile toward non-veterans in his time in Green Bay.

He’s got a lot to prove to make good on such short MVP odds, especially in the wake of the worst season of his otherwise storied career.
