Could the Packers be exploring an alternative trade of Aaron Rodgers that would send the future Hall of Fame quarterback to the opposite coast?
It is an idea that WFAN radio host Craig Carton floated recently, given how long the trade talks between Green Bay and the Jets have lasted without anything being agreed to. And now, with the San Francisco 49ers reportedly fielding calls for starter Trey Lance while backup Brock Purdy is out long-term after UCL injury — leaving former Jet Sam Darnold as their only option at the position — there is a plausible scenario where they look to swoop in and steal
Former Giants running back Tiki Barber seems to think its plausible, too, given what he said Wednesday on his WFAN radio show, “Tiki & Tierney:”
All of this little simmering, it’s not even like smoke coming out of this thing, it’s just a little crinkling of flames starting to burgeon up under the leaves about Aaron Rodgers actually going to the 49ers as opposed to the Jets now has some validity.
