When it comes to an interesting offseason, the Aaron Rodgers trade dilemma is one that sits at the top with the rest. It has been a month since the Green Bay Packers legend let his intentions of playing for the New York Jets be known to the world. But despite his intentions, both the franchises have not been able to come to a feasible conclusion to help A-Rod transition from Green Bay to New York. With the draft just a few days away, fans will be waiting in anticipation for a final light to shine surrounding A-Rod’s future in the NFL. Recently, a probable teammate of Rodgers has put up a brave challenge in front of the back-to-back MVP.
Despite the uncertainty, Jets CB and Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner has already placed an interesting challenge to Rodgers for his arrival to New York.
