football/nfl/story" data-permission="all">

The future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is at the heart of speculation once again this winter and the star player wanted to clarify his intentions on Wednesday: he wants to wear the New York Jets uniform in 2023.

About 375,000 people tuned into the early afternoon to listen to “The Pat McAfee Show” podcast, as the Green Bay Packers-owned center had previously mentioned he was saving an important announcement for his audience. As several sources have suggested in recent weeks, the number 12 wants to take the same route as Brett Favre, another renowned quarterback who chose to continue his career with the Jets in 2008 after 16 years spent in Wisconsin.

“Since Friday, my goal has been to play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said, adding, however, that the Packers are refusing to compromise with the New York organization at this time.

On the other hand, the recipient of the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021 believes that his departure to the Big Apple is only a matter of time, the two teams concerned continuing to negotiate. However, when he decided to submit to a stay in complete darkness last month, he estimated at 90% his chances of retirement. When he returned, he turned around, noticing a change in tone on the Green Bay side.

“I’m as sad as you are, but we’ll see each other again,” he told Packers fans.

Ridicule

In addition, the quarterback strongly denied the allegations of possible hiring requests sent to the Jets. According to ESPN, Rodgers’ list of names includes former teammates Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard and Marcedes Lewis.

“It’s totally ridiculous,” he replied. It does not correspond to reality, it is so stupid to think that I would do that.

In 2022, he threw 26 touchdown passes and committed 12 interceptions, completing 64.6% of his relays.
