The Pro Bowl games are running in full swing. But the attention over Aaron Rodgers remains constant. The legendary quarterback is aptly using his offseason to step back and relax as the Green Bay Packers figure out a probable trade. With certain rumors predicting where Rodgers could head next, the Niners are also not out of the picture. But Rodgers had a few words over the ‘San Fran’ rumors.
The Green Bay Packers are ready to move on from one of the NFL’s most decorated quarterbacks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Aaron Rodgers seems ready for the change, and speculation has lined up a few teams. San Francisco, which is in the QB’s home state of California, could be one of them. But Rodgers casually yet effectively ruled them out.
Did A-Rod slash San Fran off the list?
