Nearly a week after Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated on The Pat McAfee Show that his “intention is to play for the New York Jets,” it feels as though steam has been lost on a potential trade. While Rodgers will still likely be traded to the Jets eventually, all the talk about how a deal is right on the horizon has seemingly vanished.
During his interview with McAfee, Rodgers begged the organization not to dig their heels in the ground for trade compensation. Apparently, the Packers have done just that as they’ve reportedly asked for a 2023 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 conditional selection, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
