As the Packers and Jets continue to negotiate a potential trade for the 39-year-old quarterback, there are conflicting reports about Green Bay’s compensation requests.
Rodgers said Wednesday on “The Pat McAfee Show”, but the Packers are holding a trade up.
“I haven’t been holding anything up. At this point it’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me, kind of digging their heels in. It is interesting at this point to step back and take a look at the whole picture,” Rodgers said.Before the 39-year-old quarterback’s McAfee appearance, there were conflicting reports about Green Bay’s compensation requests.
“More complicated is the fact that the Jets and the Green Bay Packers have to figure out compensation on what it would take to acquire Aaron Rodgers — and my understanding is that within the Packers organization they felt that he was worth a package that was similar to the one that the Rams once got for Matthew Stafford,” Schefter said, adding that the Jets “have to figure out what they’re willing to pay.
In the Stafford deal, the Rams gave the Lions first-round picks in 2022 and ’23, a third-round pick in 2021 and quarterback Jared Goff.Denver sent quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks to throw a pass against the Lion at Lambeau Field on Jan. 8, 2023 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
