‘Is it time to move on?’: Why NFL powerhouse could finally pull trigger on $213m QB

The game of musical chairs for NFL quarterbacks this off-season could include Aaron Rodgers being traded.

The longtime Packers quarterback, who appeared to be soaking up the scene at Lambeau Field earlier this month after the final game of his 18th season with the organisation, could soon be on the move, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“It’s hard to imagine that he’s gonna retire and walk away and surrender $110 million ($A156m) in guaranteed money,” Schefter said during an appearance on ‘SportsCenter’ this morning (AEDT).

If Rodgers is indeed available this off-season, a number of teams would likely make a play for the four-time NFL MVP.

Working on the presumption that Schefter’s AFC claim is correct, then the Jets, Raiders, Titans and Patriots would seem the most logical landing spots for the 39-year-old super-bowl winner.

The asking price the Packers would be looking for to part ways with one of the greatest QBs of all time would be incredibly steep, however it is a price that the New York Jets are reportedly willing to pay, according to NBC Sports’ Peter King.

“As for the compensation due Green Bay, my guess is the Pack would want at least two first-round picks,” he said in his ‘Football Morning In America’ column.

“The Woody Johnson Jets, desperate for a star QB almost since the Broadway Joe days, would happily pay that freight, I’d guess. But would Rodgers accept a deal to the Jets? We shall see.”
