Aaron Rodgers’ Favorite Target Who Got Taken Away by New York Gives a Riveting Update for Green Bay: “Don’t Think He’ll Ever Put On a Packers Uniform Again”

The New York Jets have added quite a number of new talents to their roster this offseason. But one particular trade negotiation that has caught the eye of the NFL fans amidst its standoff is that of Green Bay Packers legend, Aaron Rodgers. After almost a month of the 4X MVP QB announcing his wish to play for the Jets, the trade has not seen any conclusive fruition. One may start wondering if the Packers legend will even move to New York, considering the standstill in terms of negotiations between the two teams. 

But A-Rod’s former Packers teammate and WR, who recently joined the Jets in the hopes of reuniting with the QB, had his own take on the situation, stating that Rodgers won’t be considering playing for the Packers again.

Allen Lazard is a firm believer in Aaron Rodgers moving to New York

Despite how things may be looking at the moment, WR Allen Lazard, who recently signed with the Jets, is still looking forward to A-Rod joining him in New York. While recently speaking to Mark Freund of Who 13’s, Lazard said that he’s excited for Rodgers coming to New York whenever the deal pulls through. 

Lazard said, “Yeah I’m excited. I mean he said it, he wants to be a Jet. I don’t think he’ll ever put on a Packer uniform again. If the Packers wanna hold him and pay him 60 million dollars, then good for Aaron and his negotiation tactics. But yeah I’m excited for him to be able to get out to New York, whenever that process happens, to be reunited.”

The issue with Rodgers’ trade has been going on for a long time now. Will A-Rod even play for the Jets for the next season?

In a recent update surrounding the trade, the Packers are reportedly looking for a second-round 2023 pick and a 2024 first-round pick for A-Rod. If Rodgers retires after 2023, the Packers are even looking to give the Jets some draft compensation in 2025. But Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly refuses to give up a first-round pick for the QB. As Lazard looks forward to seeing A-Rod with him in New York, fans will be waiting for a final decision regarding the matter.
