While Aaron Rodgers is no longer on the Packers' roster, his injury will still affect his former team.

Rodgers' injury may be painful, but it no longer affects the Packers.Although the trade that sent the signal-caller to New York is old news, there was a conditional draft pick in the deal.
Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets is helped off the field after suffering an injury during Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium on September 11, 2023, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. His injury will affect the Green Bay Packers' 2024 draft picks.When a star player gets traded, there's usually a pretty high asking price. And while the deal that sent Rodgers to the New York Jets wasn't completely one-sided, plenty of draft picks changed hands.
While most of those picks were already used in the 2023 draft, the conditional pick is still outstanding. On Monday night, the Packers' fortunes took a hit. Jets coach Robert Saleh said after the game that he thought Rodgers hurt his Achilles and noted that things were"not good." On Tuesday morning, word began to circulate that No. 8 was done for the season.
