Former Punter Turned American Pop Culture Hero Pat McAfee Gets Surprised Upon Billionaires Learning About Aaron Rodgers Through Free Show

Despite months of speculations, negotiations, and revelations, Aaron Rodgers‘ future still remains uncertain. Earlier, Rodgers made his intentions of joining the New York Jets and moving on from the Green Bay Packers known to the entire NFL community. Well, that was exactly a month back, and since then no concrete moves have been made by either Rodgers or the Jets to finalize the deal. And, now, his podcast partner and ex-punter Pat McAfee mentioned something about the Jets Owner.

Rodgers even shut down all doors of his possible return to the Packers, as even they have moved on to newer opportunities. Rodgers’ close friend, Pat McAfee just like many others is concerned about the situation, and had a rather interesting point of discussion: The Jets owner.

Did Woody Johnson know?

Earlier, reports of the New York Jets’ top brass flying out to California to meet with Aaron Rodgers were doing the rounds. ESPN reported that the contingent of Jets officials included team owner Woody Johnson, general manager Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

Just a week after the meeting, Aaron Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee show and dished out his plans for the future, “I made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets. And I haven’t been holding anything up, at this point, it’s compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me and kind of digging their heels in.”

But Rodgers’ dear friend, Pat McAfee brings up a great point: Was Woody Johnson and the Jets aware of this?

According to McAfee, “Who knows what they did. If he (Woody Johnson) was learning that on our program, and not from those conversations, I’d say that’s an issue.”

Additionally, McAfee added, “And apparently like a lot of people legitimately had no idea what he was gonna say, like to think that the owner of the Jets was learning this ship the same time that we were is fascinating,”

Communication with Rodgers was the biggest issue cited by the Green Bay Packers GM and maybe the Jets are on the same ship. While the NFL Combine was speculated to be the negotiating ground for both the Packers and Jets, nothing substantial has come out of those speculations, so where does the Aaron Rodgers trade stand?

Is the Aaron Rodgers trade bound to fail?

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t the only big-time name on the Jets’ off-season checklist. The New York franchise was also pursuing Odell Beckham Jr. The OBJ trade has since fallen short, as he signed with the Baltimore Ravens.

Several NFL Insiders believe that a similar fate awaits Aaron Rodgers’ trade as well. Some even believe that Rodgers is way too expensive for the Jets to actually recruit him to their ranks.

Despite all the ongoing developments, the Jets GM remains confident as he earlier announced Rodgers’ arrival in front of a New York crowd. With the ongoing rumors and speculations flying around, almost every realm of possibility seems to have been looked into, and all eyes remain fixated on Rodgers and the Jets.
