Aaron Rodgers reportedly turned down a trade to the Patriots.
The 39-year-old quarterback, who elected instead to join the New York Jets this offseason, reportedly wasn’t intrigued by New England’s offer.
“When Aaron Rodgers heard it, his agent said, ‘No, we ain’t playing for New England. We want to be a Jet,'” Craig Carton said on FS1’s “The Carton Show.”
Carton noted that Rodgers “almost wasn’t a Jet” but wasn’t enticed enough to head to New England.
Belichick and Rodgers have praised each other in the past. Rodgers called Belichick a “living legend” and the greatest head coach ever.
