Jets Will Release Aaron Rodgers; Packers’ Brian Gutekunst Wins Trade

GREEN BAY, Wis. – On the March 17, 2023, edition of The Pat McAfee Show, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport was discussing the still-on-hold trade of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets.

“The Packers have zero leverage. Zero,” McAfee said.

Moments later, Rapoport said “two smart people” would figure out how to make a deal.

“Who’s the smart person?” McAfee interjected.

The Jets’ Joe Douglas had proven himself a quality general manager, McAfee said. “Has Gutekunst?”

Rapoport, caught off-guard, stammered for a moment before saying NFL general managers are smart.
