Aaron Rodgers' Achilles injury affects the Green Bay Packers' future. Here's how.

The season-ending injury of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers not only derailed the plans of his current team, but it also put a dent in the future of his former team.
When the Green Bay Packers traded Rodgers to New York in April, they received the No. 13 overall pick, a second-round pick and a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft while sending back the No. 15 selection and a fifth-round pick. The Packers also got a conditional 2024 second-round pick, but that would be elevated depending on how much Rodgers played this season.
If Rodgers had played 65% of New York's offensive snaps this season, the second-round pick in 2024 would become a first-round pick. Instead, Rodgers only got four plays into his Jets tenure before he suffered an Achilles injury that will force him to miss the rest of the season and Zach Wilson to take the helm of the offense.
Green Bay will now only get New York's second-round pick in next year's draft, completing the trade for the four-time MVP.

The Packers chose edge rusher Lukas Van Ness, tight end Luke Musgrave and kicker Anders Carlson with the picks they received from New York, all of whom played significant roles in Green Bay's season opening win against the Chicago Bears.
