If Aaron Rodgers’ grand plan is for the Green Bay Packers to trade him to the New York Jets, he might want to consider saying something ASAP because the team apparently had a very “positive” visit with Derek Carr this weekend.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington said on Get Up con Monday that “we have some hard conversations that are going to be happening in Florham Park this week” after a meeting between the Jets and Carr that went “really well.”
“I’m told that it was a very positive meeting, that the Jets really believe that Derek Carr is the type of quarterback that can lead them to a potential championship,” Darlington said.
The Jets have long been considered the most likely candidate for a trade if Rodgers decides he wants out of Green Bay. However, the former MVP has been very low-key in his offseason approach and is currently off in a darkness retreat while other quarterbacks are making free-agency moves around him.
“Right now, we’re looking at a situation where Aaron Rodgers hasn’t even gone to the Packers to say whether he wants to be traded,” Darlington said. “We don’t know if the Packers would be willing to trade him. We obviously know that there’s a decision to be made there. So do the Jets go hard for Derek Carr now, or do they risk potentially losing him and waiting it out for Aaron Rodgers?”
Never a dull moment when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and the NFL offseason.
