Will Aaron Rodgers be traded? If so, which team would want him? The Jets? It might be interesting to see a polarizing figure like Rogers appear on the New York market.
Of course, this puts the cart in front of the horse. Because the former Cull quarterback hasn’t decided whether to retire or return for another season. Rodgers, who turns 40 next December, is finishing his worst season as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
Every word Rogers speaks on his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show is parsed for hints and hidden meanings. Last week, he said he might have to play for a team other than the Packers next season, with media insiders trying to figure out which teams might want Rodgers. This week, he said he would probably have to redo his contract if he returned, regardless of the team, which was seen as an indication that Rodgers is set to play next season. rice field.
Rogers talks about potential trades in this 12-minute excerpt from Tuesday’s show.
One person Rodgers hopes to return in 2023 is ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter, who is someone worth listening to and the Packers are at least investigating a potential trade. I am a person who believes that.

Some people in the league can see that, assuming the Jets are grappling with a cap deficit of nearly $3 million.
The NFC coordinator said, “That receiving team is really talented and good on defense.” “They have pieces and they’re on the rise. In my opinion, they desperately need him to get a QB.”
The Jets finished 7-10 last season, but were 7-4 before losing their final six games. Six of their losses were by one score, as the Jets suffered from erratic quarterback play, so perhaps a future Hall of Fame quarterback could be the difference in those games.

“If Aaron Rodgers went to the Jets, they could have won it all,” Smith said.
Another possible destination for Rogers is Indianapolis. ESPN.com report. The Colts won only four games in 2022, but lost six by three points or less. This is a margin that could be overcome with a proper quarterback that the Colts were clearly lacking. Additionally, the Colts have cap space.
