Aaron Rodgers Trade Rumors: Packers, Jets 'Not Close'; Green Bay Eyes 'Premium' Deal

Despite future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers' stated desire to play for the New York Jets in 2023, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly "not close" to trading him to the Jets yet.

During an appearance Thursday on Get Up, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said the following about negotiations between the Packers and Jets:

"My understanding is the two sides, as of last night, were not close to completing a deal. And the Green Bay Packers aren't going to be in a rush to get something done until they feel like they get sufficient compensation for the player that believes he is the greatest player in Packers franchise history.
