Had the Packers traded Aaron Rodgers this past offseason, Rodgers would have preferred to be dealt to the 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Prior to San Francisco drafting quarterback Trey Lance No. 3 in the 2021 NFL draft, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan had a brief conversation with Packers coach Matt LaFleur regarding Rodgers.
“The exact truth is I don’t want to wake up the next day on Friday and see Aaron Rodgers, one of the best quarterbacks in this league, traded without doing any due diligence on it,” Shanahan said while appearing on The Rich Eisen Show after the draft.
