While Aaron Rodgers has officially announced that he wants to play for the New York Jets, that doesn’t mean the deal is set in stone.
The Green Bay Packers are still negotiating with the Jets for appropriate compensation for Rodgers. The Packers apparently want at least one first-round pick, but the New Yorkers don’t want to pay for it.
When the trade will be official is still completely open. Now Packers CEO Mark Murphy spoke at the “Wisconsin Tech Summit” held at Lambeau Field – but had no new news for the NFL world.
Murphy Jokes: “Don’t Have Any Other Issues Anyway”
When asked about Rodgers and the situation, Murphy was joking. “Yes, you know, we don’t have any other topics anyway,” he commented on the request first.
“I’d really like to tell you everything you want to know about Aaron and the Jets. But my lips are sealed,” he shared with a laugh.
It gives the impression that he himself doesn’t know how the alternating theater will turn out in the end.
The fact is, the Jets want Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers wants to go to the Jets, and the Green Bay Packers don’t want Aaron Rodgers anymore. The intentions have now been confirmed by all sides.
