NFL analyst propose a blockbuster trade that would send Aaron Rodgers out of the NFC North
The Green Bay Packers miss the playoffs for the first time in year. Indeed, now that the season is done, the Packers will have a crucial offseason ahead of them and will need to answer some questions starting with what do you do with Aaron Rodgers?
Remember back in 2020; the Packers traded up in the first-round of the NFL Draft to select quarterback Jordan Love. Well this offseason, the team has to decide whether they want to exercise his fifth-year option, or allow him to hit free agency after the 2023 season.
What is blocking Love from starting in Green Bay is Aaron Rodgers, the four-time NFL MVP.
With that being said, the Athletic's Jeff Howe mentioned the 49ers as a potential landing spot for the Packers. However, the 49ers don't have a 2023 first-round pick after moving up to draft Trey Lance third overall in 2021which leads to this interesting proposal from Howe:
It's obvious the 49ers have one of the best rosters in the NFL, but they have been hit with injuries at the quarterback position. It may not matter, as Brock Purdy has helped his team win two games after throwing for 461 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Still, the 49ers could be unstoppable with Rodgers as their starting quarterback.
He would join a team with the league's top-ranked defense and an offense featuring Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk. Oh, and an offensive line with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams.
With Rodgers, the 49ers could dominate.
