VIDEO: Aaron Rodgers Rules Out On Potential Trade Destination During Pebble Beach Pro-AM
It appears that one potential destination for quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been ruled out as he decides where he will play, or if he will play at all, in 2023. During the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament, former golfer and CBS Sports analyst Colt Knost asked Rodgers if he had any news to share with the world. The Green Bay Packers quarterback, who is 39 years old, chuckled and responded while taking a practice swing, "I'm not going to San Francisco."
Speculation about Rodgers' future has been rampant in the latest offseason, as he is under contract with the Packers, who finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs. ESPN reported that trading Rodgers could emerge as Green Bay's preferred option. With Tom Brady's recent retirement, the free agent quarterback market has been shaken up, leading to speculation about potential new landing spots for Rodgers. There have been rumors that the New York Jets, who recently hired former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, could emerge as a potential destination for Rodgers. On "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers said that the Hackett family is "really special" to him, but he did not specifically address whether the hiring would impact his decision.
While Rodgers apparently ruled out the San Francisco 49ers, who already have Trey Lance and Brock Purdy, it does not mean that he won't end up somewhere in the western United States. The Oakland Raiders and a reunion with former teammate Davante Adams could emerge as another potential trade option for Rodgers, especially with Brady now retired.
