Aaron Rodgers is still a Green Bay Packer – for now.
Despite an announcement from Trey Wingo this morning that claimed “Rodgers to the Jets is done,” several football insiders including ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport have pushed back on the report this Monday afternoon.
“I wish it did. I wish something had happened. But nothing has happened,” Rapoport tweeted, seemingly in response to Wingo’s announcement.
In the aftermath of the conflicting reports today, ex-Packers quarterback and Rodgers’ former teammate Kurt Benkert took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the so-called ‘source battle.’
“I want to see it from NFL account to believe it,” Benkert tweeted.

According to Packers president Mark Murphy, the Green Bay franchise expects Rodgers to make a decision on his football-playing future by Wednesday – the start of the new league year.
While many have predicted the longtime Packers quarterback will be traded to the Jets, Rodgers himself hasn’t officially announced his playing status for the 2023 season. There’s still an outside chance the 18-year NFL veteran chooses retirement instead of suiting up for a 19th year in the league.
With that said, though, Jets star Garrett Wilson appeared to hint that a Rodgers trade could be coming soon this afternoon.
“I can finally enjoy my vacay now,” Wilson posted before sending another cryptic tweet.
“Y’all shud see this smile on me rn.”
