Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers idea is picking up steam
Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers seemed far-fetched a few weeks ago. The Green Bay Packers and Rodgers appeared to be more on the same page about discussing their future in 2023. Recent reports have made it seem like a trade might be a real possibility for Rodgers.
The New York Jets are an obvious landing spot. The Jets’ roster is full of talent. They need a veteran quarterback like Rodgers. Last week, they hired former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. A move many interpreted as the Jets trying to hire a person that could lure Rodgers to New York.
But Wednesday was full of big-time quarterback news. Tom Brady announced his retirement in the early morning. Then Kyle Shanahan said he didn’t see a path for the 49ers to re-sign Jimmy Garoppolo in free agency.
NFL fans speculate on Rodgers to the 49ers
After those pieces of news surfaced, fans on social media tweeted about Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers as a potential trade option this offseason. That trade seems far-fetched. For one, the Packers and Rodgers would okay a trade to happen in the conference. Secondly, Shanahan stated that he believes he has two starters: Brock Purdy and Trey Lance. But that won’t stop fans from talking in the offseason. Here are the best takes on Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers.
I want Aaron Rodgers to be on the 49ers to flip the fucking league again the way Brady did a few years ago when he went to Tampa.

There was a lot of talk about Brady to the 49ers because he’s from the SF Bay Area, and it was his favorite team growing up. Well, Rodgers is from Northern California, played college ball in the Bay Area at Cal. So why not a year for the 49ers. They certainly have great weapons.

49ers are OUT on Jimmy G. (per Kyle Shanahan), and Brock Purdy gone for the 2023 season with Tommy Johns…?

Rodgers will go to the 49ers.

Aaron Rodgers should be a 49ers the next two seasons. Retire with 3 rings.

My thoughts on this were accurate. 49ers will likely now be a player for Aaron Rodgers and maybe David Carr https://t.co/DvTY21Cnhl

49ers. If not, he’s still playing as a Packer. Honestly I don’t see him retiring yet. After all Rodgers was born in Cali, loved the 49ers growing up and was disappointed they didn’t draft him. So, there’s that.
