Aaron Rodgers’ move from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets is the most spectacular trade of the offseason. In the process, the quarterback almost ended up with the New England Patriots, reports “Fox Sports. “
For 18 seasons, Aaron Rodgers played for the Green Bay Packers and is known to be donning a different green jersey in the upcoming NFL season. But now that everyone is finally getting used to the idea of Rodgers as the quarterback of the New York Jets, “Fox Sports” host Craig Carton delivers a little sensational story.
Albeit without a happy ending.
The New England Patriots were reportedly negotiating with the Packers about a Rodgers trade, but then the players’ side put a stop to a possible move to Foxboro.
“Aaron Rodgers became almost a no jet,” Carton said on “Fox Sports. “
Aaron Rodgers’ advisor: “No, we’re not playing for New England “
The host continued, “The New England Patriots made an offer to the Green Bay Packers to get Aaron Rodgers, and when Aaron Rodgers heard that, his agent said, ‘No, we’re not playing for New England.’ We want to be a Jet.”
Rather be a Jet than play under coaching legend Bill Belichick? Yes, reportedly the Rodgers camp even stated that the quarterback would resign should he be traded to the Patriots.
And so the 39-year-old will play in New York from now on. But he will play against the Patriots twice in the coming season.
