Citing sources, NFL insider Trey Wingo late Monday night said Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets “had conversations” earlier in the day.
“While nothing is imminent,” Wingo continued, “Rodgers is open to the idea of going to NY.”
The report was confirmed by The Athletic, which noted Rodgers has to decide whether he wants to play at all in 2023.
If Rodgers has talked to the Jets, it would have to come with permission from the Packers. That serves as another signal that the Packers are prepared to trade Rodgers and hand the offense to Jordan Love.
Whatever is going to happen with Rodgers – will he retire? Return to Green Bay? Be traded?” – it’s going to happen soon. The unofficial start to free agency is Monday, with the official kickoff coinciding with the start of the league-year next Wednesday.
