On WFAN Sports Radio New York this week, Tiki Barber laid out a potential nightmare scenario for the New York Jets.

Gang Green, of course, have been trying to complete a trade for four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers for much of the offseason, but nothing has transpired yet and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last week that a deal isn't likely to come before next week's draft.

That has Barber wondering if a team like the San Francisco 49ers could swoop in and steal Rodgers if they aren't feeling certain about either Brock Purdy or Trey Lance.

Obviously, that'd be a crushing blow to a Jets team that has put most of its offseason eggs in one Rodgers-sized basket this winter and spring. Let's break down that remote-yet-intriguing potential scenario while also reviewing a few other non-Jets alternatives that make some sense.

San Francisco 49ers

As Barber noted, setting aside potential financial quagmires, San Francisco over the Jets would likely be a no-brainer for Rodgers. Not only is the 39-year-old a California native, but the 49ers are more of a contender after going to the NFC Championship Game last year.

Now, how feasible is it? We do know the 49ers have reportedly fielded calls on Lance after making it clear they favor Purdy, and we also know Purdy is still recovering from UCL surgery. Those dynamics certainly make Rodgers-to-California a possibility, but the team also has just $3.8 million in salary-cap space, according to Spotrac. Thus, making this happen would require Herculean efforts from both sides (and likely some short-term concessions from Rodgers, who is set to earn nearly $60 million in 2023).
