Social media abuzz while waiting for Aaron Rodgers' latest act with Packers-Jets to reach a conclusion
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Just one day removed from the Oscars, the predictable drama continued.
It certainly wasn't quiet on the Aaron Rodgers front.
While the rest of the NFL began exploring new additions to their roster with the dawn of the "legal tampering" window before free-agency officially began, Green Bay (and New York Jets) fans were immersed in all things Aaron Rodgers.
Was the Packers quarterback traded to the New York Jets? Is he holding the Packers or the Jets hostage?
Remember, he did say he wouldn't do that.
Aaron Rodgers back on January 8th (64 days ago):
“I’m not going to hold them hostage… We’re in January here, March is free agency, so.” pic.twitter.com/0dbb04hyvL— Alex Strouf (@alex_strouf) March 13, 2023
Was it the end? Various reports had Rodgers being traded to the New York Jets, including one by former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo.
Hearing Rodgers to the Jets is done. History about to repeat itself between New York and Green Bay. Time is indeed a flat circle

But NFL Network reporter Ian Rappaport immediately refuted that report.
I wish it did. I wish something had happened. But nothing has happened. https://t.co/VqlmRbonxa

Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas is asking where the love for Rodgers is in Green Bay?
And Rodgers appeared to chime in his own special way....
UPDATE: Aaron Rodgers has liked a tweet from #Packers teammate Rasul Douglas responding to a tweet saying:
Media: “Just thinking bout all these Jets players asking 12 to come join them in New York on social media. Why aren’t 12 teammates asking him to stay here? 🤷🏽♂️”
