Aaron Rodgers intends to play for Jets
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said his intention is "to play and play for the New York Jets" during an interview on Wednesday.
What It Means:
The Packers and Jets are reportedly working on trade details, but Rodgers is expected to be the Jets' starting quarterback in Week 1 next season. That would be an upgrade for Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Rodgers' former teammate Allen Lazard. Rodgers turned 39 in December
Rodgers had a 64.6 completion percentage last season, down from a combined 69.8 from the previous two seasons. He finished with 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, marking Rodgers' first season since 2010 with double-digit picks. Rodgers also recorded the worst passer rating of his career at 91.5.
