Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been the subject of much speculation in the NFL world recently, with many wondering about his future with the team. While no definitive answer has been given yet, it appears that discussions are taking place.
According to Trey Wingo, Rodgers held talks with the New York Jets on Monday. While a trade doesn’t seem to be imminent, the fact that discussions are taking place is a strong indication that the Packers are willing to let Rodgers move on.
This news confirms earlier reports that the Packers have been willing to part ways with Rodgers. Michael Silver of Bally Sports recently reported that the organization is no longer willing to beg Rodgers to return on his own terms, which had been their approach in previous offseasons.
If Rodgers does end up leaving the Packers, it would mark the end of a highly successful career in Green Bay. Despite finishing the 2021 season with an 8-9 record, the Packers missed the playoffs after a poor start to the season. A loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18 sealed their fate.
It’s worth noting that if Rodgers were to go to the Jets, it would be reminiscent of his predecessor Brett Favre’s move to the same team. Favre also had issues with the Packers and eventually moved on to the Jets before finishing his career with the Minnesota Vikings in 2010.
As of now, Rodgers is still a member of the Packers, but it seems likely that a split is coming sooner rather than later. Only time will tell if the Jets are the next home for the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
In conclusion, while no decision has been made yet, it seems like the Packers are open to trading Aaron Rodgers. If he does leave, it will be a major change for the team and a significant moment in NFL history.
