Longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Wednesday he decided last week he wants to be traded to the New York Jets.
Sauce Gardner burned the cheesehead hat he wore to celebrate a win over the Green Bay Packers to entice Aaron Rodgers to join the New York Jets.
Rodgers won four NFL MVP awards and one Super Bowl during his 18 seasons in Green Bay. His immediate future in the league has been unclear this offseason, with retirement, returning to the Packers and being traded to another team all seemingly on the table. The future Hall of Famer pondered that future during a four-day darkness retreat. He confirmed he met with members of the Jets organization last week.
“I think it is interesting at this point to step back and look at the whole picture, my side — love and appreciation, gratitude for everything that Green Bay has done for me. Just so much love and gratitude and heart open for the Packer fans and what it meant to be their quarterback. And also the reality of the situation. It is what it is — the Packers would like to move on.”
