“You Want the Best QB That You Can Get To Lead the Jets”: $5.7 Billion Worth Owner Firm on Aaron Rodgers Trade War

The Aaron Rodgers trade saga erupted way before the Super Bowl had a definite winner. Since the end of the Green Bay Packers’ season, it’s been all about the quarterback and what he’ll do next. Several might believe that a location change is workable, and some teams would require a veteran quarterback. Amidst the drama, Jets co-proprietor Woody Johnson kept his thoughts on the trade situation.

New York Jets co-owner Woody Johnson was at the NFL Honors in Phoenix, Arizona. Johnson encountered some questions about their franchise’s ongoing search in the offseason. As per the team’s website, the team is looking for a veteran quarterback, and HC Robert Saleh made it clear.

ESPN’s Dianna Russini asked the Jets’ co-owner about their veteran QB hunt and also sought their interest in getting Aaron Rodgers into the franchise. Johnson said, “You want the best QB that you can get to lead the Jets… I can’t really talk about him, because he’s a member of another club, but everybody recognizes talent when they see it.”

The New York Jets may look like an ideal destination for Rodgers. The roster showcased the potential to go head-to-head against a top-tier franchise this year. However, Zach Wilson could be the reason for their plunge this season. The franchise would look for some seasoned authority, and A-Rod looks like a fit.

Aaron Rodgers is notorious for his uncanny ways. Some critics have often lashed out at the unusual approaches he takes, be it the ayahuasca trips or the isolation retreat. Among them was Mitchell Schwartz, who took some objection and called out the quarterback’s refuge on Twitter. AR12 took notice of it.

Aaron Rodgers responded to Schwartz’s tweet, calling him to “Be curious. Not judgmental.” Rodgers added that everyone’s on their journey, but doing things like this facilitates him finding more tranquility and affection for life. The quarterback has backed up any criticism over his techniques. 

Hopefully, the Packers’ QB1 will decide about his future in the NFL.
