The NFL offseason is always a time of change, and this year has been no exception. The rumor mill has been working overtime with talk of potential trades, signings, and player movements. One of the most talked-about stories has been the potential trade of Aaron Rodgers. While the Packers and Jets continue to work on an agreement, Rodgers is wasting no time getting to season conditioning with his new partner. 

Aaron Rodgers is looking to make amends for his exploits from last season. The QB had a down season by his standards, especially as the Packers team failed to even qualify for the playoffs. Although last season was his final one with the Packers, Rodgers is definitely looking to make a big impact wherever he goes. In his mind, though, is only one destination for now, the New York Jets.

The fact that Rodgers is taking the time to work with Lazard, even before the deal is finalized, is a good indication that he’s serious about making a move to the Jets. Of course, there are still plenty of unknowns when it comes to the potential Rodgers trade. The Packers are unlikely to let their star quarterback go without a fight, and negotiations between the two teams could take some time.
