Report: Aaron Rodgers had conversations with AFC East team

Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers is still in the process of making a decision about his future in the league.

Rodgers, 39, just exited a four-day “darkness retreat” in which the enigmatic future Hall of Famer contemplated whether to return to the Green Bay Packers, request a trade to another team or retire altogether.

Should Rodgers elect to return, one team has been linked to Rodgers more than others: the New York Jets.

According to veteran NFL reporter Trey Wingo, the two sides reportedly had conversations on Monday about a potential union. Wingo notes that Rodgers is “open to the idea of” heading to New York while indicating that “nothing is imminent.”

This is a rather interesting development in that it suggests Rodgers is seriously considering playing for another team outside of the Packers in 2023. It also comes at the same time that reports suggest Green Bay would prefer Rodgers either opt to retire or request a trade. In order for the Jets to have talked with Rodgers, they’d need permission from Green Bay as he’s still under contract with the Packers.
