During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show last month, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he was about 90 percent sure he was going to retire before going on a darkness retreat and ultimately deciding to return for the 2023 season.
When Rodgers announced his decision to continue playing, he also revealed his intention to play for the New York Jets. But it appears his comments about being close to retirement were a bit unsettling for Gang Green.
Before Rodgers made the comments about being 90 percent retired, the Jets and Packers had the parameters of a trade involving Rodgers in place, per Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports.
