GMs for Packers Jets discuss status of Rodgers trade talks

Wiki Article

PHOENIX (AP) Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said hes not requiring a first-round pick in a potential trade sending four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets but added hed want fair value.Gutekunst was asked Monday at the NFL annual meeting if there was any way in which he could feel comfortable trading Rodgers without getting a first-round pick in return.Yeah, I think thats not a nece sity, Gutekunst told reporters. But at the same time, the value of the player hes a premier player, so getting premier picks back for (premier) players is important.Gutekunst and Jets general manager Joe Douglas both discu sed trade talks involving the 39-year-old Rodgers, who said March 15 during an appearance on that Rodgers remains under contract with Green Bay but said he wanted the Packers Jameson Field Jersey to do the right thing.Theres been some productive conversations. Obviously, were not where we need to be yet. But feel like were in a good place. Douglas said, adding hes very optimistic. Gutekunst said that hopefully, we can come to an agreement sooner than later but indicated he could afford to wait until May or June to make a trade if nece sary.Yeah, I think so, Gutekunst said. Again, theres not much going on right now. So, again, I think it has to work for both parties and I think were both committed to figuring that out. Its really kind of in their court right now. Well kind of see where it goes.Gutekunst also said he tried unsucce sfully to speak with Rodgers on multiple occasions this offseason before the quarterbacks representatives told him the four-time MVP was requesting a trade.Rodgers and Gutekunst met shortly after Green Bays season ended with a that snapped the Packers string of three straight playoff appearances. Gutekunst said theyd planned to have follow-up conversations. Those never transpired, Gutekunst said. So there came a time where we had to make some decisions so we went through his representatives to try to talk to him (about) where we were going with our team. And at that point, they informed us that he would like to be traded to the Jets.That account conflicts with what Rodgers said during his appearance Evan Engram Jersey on The Pat McAfee Show.Rodgers said he wished the Packers had told him early in the offseason that they intended to move on from him in the 2023 season. Rodgers said instead that after returning from his isolation retreat last month, he heard from multiple people that I trust around the league players mostly that there was some shopping going on, that they were interested in actually moving me.The Packers would like to move on, Rodgers said. Theyve let me know that in so many words. Theyve let other people know that in direct words.Gutekunst said he wanted to have more discu sions with Rodgers earlier in the offseason to discu s how the veteran quarterback could fit in the Packers future plans. (With) our inability to reach him or for him to respond in any way, I think at that point, I had to do my job and kind of reach out and, understanding that a trade could be po sible and see who was interested, Gutekunst said.A trade of Rodgers would clear the way for 2020 first-round pick to take over as Green Bays starting quarterback.Gutekunst was asked if theres any scenario in which Rodgers starts another game for A.J. Hawk Jersey the Packers. I think right now all options are on the table, Gutekunst said. Its not trending that way, and were very hopeful we can facilitate this (trade) and get this accomplished. But hes come back under certain circumstances before where maybe he wasnt the happiest with everything that was going on and played very well. So well just kind of see how all of this transpires. I think its trending hopefully in the right direction for what everybody wants, and we can conclude this hopefully. ___AP NFL: and in this topic
