It seems like Aaron Rodgers' time with the Green Bay Packers could be over soon. The NFC North team is set to let him leave, and now they have reconsidered their trade demands in a bold move by the team's front office.
Aaron Rodgers' drama could be over soon. Once the 2022 NFL season ended, rumors said the quarterback didn't want to continue with the Packers and was looking forward for changing team in 2023.
The 39-year-old is under contract with the Packers, so any team interested must pay Green Bay whatever they ask for the quarterback. Now, it seems like the NFC North squad is changing its trade demands in a surprising move by them.
Packers change their trade demands for Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are apparently parting ways this year. The quarterback has made it clear he wants to play for the New York Jets, but the AFC squad must pay Green Bay whatever they ask for in order to let the 39-year-old leave.
According to reports, the Packers were looking for a 1st-round pick for the quarterback. However, they could be reconsidering their trade demands in order to make it happen sooner.
Even though the team's front office thinks Rodgers is worth a 1st-round pick, they have changed their mind on that thought. General manager Brian Gutekunst told media today in Phoenix that they don't necessarily need that in order to trade him, per Tom Pelissero.
Gutekunst added that they are not rushing into anything as they want to really think this through. He didn't close the door on Rodgers staying at Green Bay, but he knows it could be hard to make him feel comfortable after he revealed his intentions of playing for the Jets.
