New York Jets makes trade inquiry about Aaron Rodgers' status with Packers
The New York Jets have inquired about the availability of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. Rumors have been ramping up as of late regarding Rodgers’ future in Green Bay, and teams are now figuring out offers to throw at the Packers.
This move was expected by the Jets, who recently hired Rodgers’ former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett’s arrival in New York could be used to make Rodgers feels more comfortable if a trade were to happen.
If Rodgers gets traded, it’ll end his 15-year run as the Packers’ starting quarterback. Green Bay would be entering a rare rebuilding mode they haven’t been in over three decades following the Brett Favre-Aaron Rodgers coinciding eras.
The Jets would instantly see a boost in their Super Bowl odds with a successful trade with the Packers, but that’s if Green Bay actually deals him and if the Jets are willing to take on his huge contract.

As far as the two players teaming up in New York in 2023, that remains to be seen. Wilson was all-for Rodgers joining the Jets. However, Rodgers has yet to make a decision on his football future.
But if he decides to play elsewhere or have the ability to come to the Jets, Wilson sounded thrilled at the idea.
“I’ve seen that, I’ve seen the tweets,” Wilson said of the rumors to Chris Russo on Mad Dog Radio. “I’m not gonna lie, I’ve seen them. And, you know, if we get him that would be awesome. That’s someone that I’ve watched as a young kid, one of the best talents of all the time at that position. I feel like if we get him, we’re there. It’s just time to go prove it now.
“So we’ll see how it plays out. I’m confident that the front office will make the right move no matter who they get. And you know, we got some good dudes in the facility as well that can play that we’re still confident in and will stand by. I’m confident in the organization.”
