Could Aaron Rodgers actually be traded? That will remain the biggest question regarding the Packers 2023 off-season until a decision is made. Matt LaFleur has expressed he wants the four-time MVP back in Green Bay for at least one more run. Brian Gutekunst specifically stated that it will be a “wait and see” type of situation with Aaron Rodgers. The Packers are clearly keeping all options on the table, and today it was reported that the Packers are likely listening to trade offers in regards to Aaron Rodgers.
Green Bay Packers Reportedly Listening To Trade Offers For Aaron Rodgers
Today Ian Rapoport appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and elaborated on the Aaron Rodgers situation:
I mean, it’s not an impossibility. Here is the thing about Aaron Rodgers being traded, because of the way his contract is structured, a trade is possible. You can do it financially. You can come up with the compensation. I think Green Bay likes what they have in Jordan Love, so if they got the right package I think they could do a deal. It would be 60 million dollars for one season. That is what he is on the books for, cash, next season. Lets say you’re the Jets, “we’re going to go all in and trade for Aaron Rodgers.” You are going to be trading for a quarterback who you are giving up a first rounder I’m sure, probably more, and pay 60 million dollars, which would be by far the highest paid quarterback. So they could do it, but that is like astronomical.
Andrew Brandt of Sports Illustrated saw this interview and had one response:
Translation: “They’re listening to offers.”

If Mr. Superman Aaron Rodgers wants to be traded I’ll feel better if he can play it smart with the Chicago Bears. My wifey wood be so so happy but for the rest of the Packer fan nation i believe it’s best he goes to the next best team in the league. That’s the Chicago Bears 🐻.or if he stays in Green Bay if truly need to form a team like Tom Brady did I’m sure Aaron Rodgers can & will win a whole lot of Superbowl games. & Be just as great as the Goat.those are my thoughts if not he might not win any Superbowl’s maybe in 3yrs. From now he might win a Superbowl or not win at all & just getting payed for the hell of it.Aaron Rogers truly needs a better Coach team he went down hill when he lost Jordy Nelson Clay Mathews Devante Adam’s Now if he leaves title town no more Randal Cobb Lazard Aaron Jones if he can get back those 3 best player of all time then he will & I truly believe he’ll win many Superbowl’s if he goes to a different team I believe it’ll take Aaron Rodgers 2yrs. To win any Superbowl’s. If it sounds like I’m putting any players Or Aaron Rodgers down I’m not it’s just the way I’m feeling Brett favre was the greatest of all time in my heart I truly believe Mr. Superman Aaron Rodgers can be over the top one the greatest Quarter back of all time even be better than Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers just needs those players back or a team like them & he can will be an unstoppable Awesome Quarter back. I’ll miss him huge if he leaves The Green Bay Packers & i will not watch any game’s for a long while.being with a team that many years need to put a team together like back in the day. Or else my belief it’ll be a very long while to win any Superbowl’s. But not matter what PACKER NATION I WILL ALWAYS 4LIFE BE A PACKERS FAN TILL DEATH DO US PART.
