Breaking: Aaron Rodgers: 'My intention is to play for the New York Jets,' says he would welcome a trade from Green Bay to New York. Jets TakeFlight
on YouTube on Wednesday and told his side of a story that has gripped the NFL for a week.
The 39-year-old said he went into a self-imposed exile after the regular season --"into the darkness," as he put it -- to decide if he was ready to retire after 18 years in the NFL, all with the Green Bay Packers, or perhaps come back and play again, either for the Packers or for a new team. The Jets have reportedly been the only team to show serious interest in Rodgers and met with the future Hall of Famer last week.
Rodgers said prior to stepping away to consider his options, he was"90%" sure he was retiring and"10%" sure he was going to play, but added things changed in his mind after his sabbatical. He said he heard from numerous people he trusts that the Packers had decided to move on and hand the starting quarterback reins to Jordan Love, whom they drafted in 2020 and has been Green Bay's backup since.
Rodgers then told host Pat McAfee he has since decided his"intention is to play for the New York Jets."
