The Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets have yet to come to an agreement on compensation in a trade involving four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Talks between the Packers and the Jets on anoffensive tackle David Bakhtiari believes a deal will get done. He also shared his thoughts about the timing of the deal, predicting the trade would likely happen prior to the draft.
Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers greets David Bakhtiari prior to a game against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field Nov. 29, 2020, in Green Bay, Wis. "We want what we want, and we’re not gonna bend to anyone. So we’ll just eat it [Aaron Rodgers' contract]. We’ll pay you, we don’t care. If we’re gonna do it our way, it’s gonna be on our terms. If not, what are we gonna be, Super Bowl contenders anyway? So we’ll eat it. You [Rodgers] can hang on the side. We’ll pay you [Rodgers] your money, and then we’ll suck anyways, get the picks, as compared to dealing him for something that you shouldn’t have.
"As compared to dealing him [Rodgers] for something that you shouldn't have, you [general manager Brian Gutekunst] could potentially look like an idiot to not only the [team] president and the board but to everyone else around the league, thinking in the GM's perspective," Bakhtiari continued.
