Some fans, though, had to throw in a few trade theories for Rodgers now and then.

The NFL community couldn’t contain their excitement after the wholesome interaction. Because even though the two may be rivals on the field, it’s all love off the field.
Rodgers holds nothing back after a victory
Aaron Rodgers may have shared a heartfelt moment with Allen outside the game, but he was not holding back when it came to the game. Rodgers, along with partner Ben Silverman, cake-walked the tournament.
And he definitely didn’t hold back his jibes after winning.
“Josh Allen was telling me there’s going to be an asterisk by this win because there was only three rounds,” Rodgers told ESPN after winning the title. “But I think our names are going to be up there for a long time.”
