The Aaron Rodgers trade saga has sadly entered another week. The Green Bay Packers seem to be in no rush to make the move. However, the media seem to be chomping at the bit to see the trade become official. It’s no secret that Rodgers is ready for a change. The Packers QB has publicly announced his intentions to be with the New York Jets this coming season. But it seems the Packers are not ready to accept any terms from the Jets. Packers president Mark Murphy recently discussed the situation.
Rob Demovsky of ESPN recently had the chance to ask Murphy where the process currently is. Whereas Murphy gave everyone what they already know. Which is a big bunch of nothing. “Yeah I can’t really get into that,” Mark Murphy said. “I know Brian (Gutekunst) and Joe (Douglas) have been talking.” It seems Murphy has decided to lay the questions at the door of Gutekunst and Douglas. The situation between Rodgers and the Packers has been a very well-kept secret.
Aaron Rodgers Trade News Seems Dead In The Water
It is inevitable that Rodgers will be a member of the Jets next season. But what could be the real reason behind the Packers holding up this deal? Compensation is definitely a piece of the puzzle. However, one has to wonder if the Packers are listening to other offers. It was rumored last week that the San Francisco 49ers could be interested in bringing Rodgers in. The Packers shipping Rodgers to a destination he doesn’t want to go to would definitely heat up the rivalry between the two.
The Packers and Aaron Rodgers accomplished a lot together. Rodgers helped lead the team to a Super Bowl championship. Along with owning the NFC North for over a decade. The marriage now has an expiration. However, no one seems to know when the divorce will be final. Are the Packers fielding offers from other teams? Or do you believe the franchise is trying to see how desperate the Jets become in the situation? Leave your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.
