Deal Between Packers and Jets for Aaron Rodgers is Nearly Finalized
Report: Packers-Jets Trade Deal for Aaron Rodgers Close to Completion Pending His Approval
Following Packers President Mark Murphy's statements last Friday indicating Aaron Rodgers' departure from the team, reports indicate that a trade deal between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets for the quarterback is "essentially done." The sides have reportedly come to an agreement on the deal, with the final box to check being Rodgers' approval.
Rodgers has kept his thoughts regarding his future with the Packers under wraps but met with Jets representatives in California last Tuesday. The Jets are considered an NFL-ready team with a "championship-ready" defense and a new offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett, who worked with Rodgers during his tenure with the Packers.
The Packers have been clear about their stance on the matter this offseason, indicating their willingness to honor a trade request from Rodgers. Murphy also expressed confidence in Jordan Love, who has been developed under Rodgers' guidance and is now poised to become the team's starting quarterback. The end of Rodgers' successful run with the Packers could also mean the end of his reign of terror over rival team the Chicago Bears, as he appears to be heading to the opposite conference in the AFC.
