Despite the pleas from Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones, who begged for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return to the team on NFL Network on Wednesday, it appears that the Packers and Rodgers are headed for an eventual divorce. Earlier this week, Rodgers spoke to the New York Jets which was followed up by the Jets’ brass making the trip to Malibu to meet with the former back-to-back MVP in person.
If you’re reading between the lines here, Green Bay has granted Rodgers permission to speak to another team, which never happens with a quarterback under contract unless a team is ready to move on.
