NFL Insider Suggests Jets Could Try To «Lure» Aaron Rodgers With New Offensive Coordinator Hiring
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of the more polarizing athletes of the era. You either love him, or you hate him, and there's little middle ground and certainly no room for nuance.
A year ago, when the Green Bay Packers were staring at their crossroads with Aaron Rodgers, the impasse was supposedly about everything but his contract.
Rodgers wanted more communication with the front office, more inclusion in the team's planning, and more respect for the core veterans who built the culture.
Well, Rodgers may very be on his way out of Green Bay for good. Some people built a conspiracy theory saying the Jets' interest in Hackett could mean they'd try to make a run for the Green Bay Packers quarterback in free agency.
Both were in Green Bay between 2019 and 2021, when Hackett served as the offensive coordinator. Head coach Matt LaFleur called plays, but the Packers were among the league's best-scoring offenses. Rodgers also took home MVP honors in 2020 and 2021.
It becomes even more interesting when we combine this with Rodgers' recent comments about his future. While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, he said the following (quote via the Associated Press):
Do I still think I can play? Of course. Of course. Can I play at a high level? Yeah. The highest. I think I can win MVP again in the right situation. The right situation � is that Green Bay or is that somewhere else? I'm not sure.
