The Aaron Rodgers trade drama is traveling to many places. The questions remain without an answer. But several speculations have come up about where the quarterback would head next. As the drama soars, some NFL executives lay claim to how the quarterback used the Green Bay Packers to pique his interest.
The Packers QB1 is often an off-season commodity. But he rocketed before the Super Bowl LVII this year. After his final game against the Detroit Lions, Rodgers hinted towards this season being his final rodeo with Green Bay. But last year, the quarterback put the franchise into such a position that many seem to feel like a captive situation.

But the chances for the Las Vegas Raiders and the Tennessee Titans are improving. The Jets are also among them, but they might seem like an unlikely alliance.
A-Rod has not made a definite statement about his future in the game. There are chances he could also choose to retire. But he would decide after coming off a retreat.
