The New England Patriots reportedly made a trade offer to the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, per Craig Carton of Fox Sports. However, his agent reportedly shut the deal down.
"Aaron Rodgers almost wasn't a Jet," Carton said on Wednesday's edition of "The Carton Show."
"The New England Patriots made an offer to the Green Bay Packers to get Aaron Rodgers, and when Aaron Rodgers heard it, his agent said, 'No, we ain't playing for New England. We want to be a Jet."
The Jets made clear their intention to get a veteran signal-caller after second-year quarterback Zach Wilson's struggles led to multiple benchings.
