If you’re reading this, Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been traded to the New York Jets yet. No, he hasn’t retired from professional football yet, either.
If you were looking for better news: I’m sorry. I don’t have it! (Sigh.)
On the bright (hilarious?) side, the ongoing Rodgers’ madness seems to have sparked up similar frustrations with those more connected to the NFL. After the latest developments turned Monday’s wild first free agency day into a Rodgers bonanza, reporters across various networks and shows were clearly exhausted. Everyone just wants a merciful resolution here.
Here’s a compilation of some of the most comical videos of NFL personalities losing it over any discussion about Aaron Rodgers’ future in professional football.

I mean, Keisean Nixon is the NFL’s best kick returner, but yeah … Packers fans want a resolution with their quarterback. Not cool!

Four minutes without Rodgers!
It was a good run ⏱ pic.twitter.com/3xHChWjHxT

Can you believe there were four consecutive minutes of professional football talk that didn’t involve Rodgers on Monday? Neither can we!

What do you want to talk about, Tom?
"Now we've reached the good television portion."@Richeisen is now just playing the role of mediator 😂 pic.twitter.com/tQt51RXayF

Someone, please save these poor souls with another topic, like Austin Ekeler trade murmurs!

Let's not talk about hypotheticals

Jets fans like Rich Eisen aren’t doing too well these days!

Confirmed: Not done
From Free Agency Frenzy: As we await word on #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, the #Jets are the only team negotiating with WR Allen Lazard, and a Rodgers trade could also mean Randall Cobb is coming, too. pic.twitter.com/5snP6i07uH

Based on the delivery here from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, I get the sense it was not actually OK that a Rodgers trade wasn’t finished.

The most important thing? Nothing happened
From @NFLTotalAccess: As of now, we are still staying tuned to the Aaron Rodgers situation. pic.twitter.com/pDB33kfXgA
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 13, 2023
This is also a good reminder. Amidst a flurry of reporting on Rodgers, nothing happened. There were other significant free agency moves to keep tally of, actually.

The Brian Windhorst special
.@AdamSchefter did the @WindhorstESPN special 🤣😭 pic.twitter.com/UO7GKldn4B

You might remember ESPN’s Brian Windhorst amusingly leading us on a cryptic trail about Donovan Mitchell. Well, his colleague Adam Schefter has now recreated it.

The Rodgers' stuff is just too much
.@Espngreeny says he couldn't go to a show with his wife because the "Rodgers stuff is too much" 😂😭 pic.twitter.com/TY77YROwsO

I don’t know about y’all, but I probably would’ve just gone to a movie with my partner. This Rodgers hoopla isn’t worth the trouble.

Leaving the darkness
If Aaron Rodgers signs with the Jets, @Espngreeny said he would do his OWN darkness retreat 😂 pic.twitter.com/hrwIw5i6tK
— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) March 3, 2023
Darkness retreats might have benefits for some people, but that doesn’t mean we have to make promises to go one for sports!

Working the phones
While Aaron Rodgers rumors swirl, Adam Schefter is working the phones live on ESPN…. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/viDS6qhr9R
— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) March 13, 2023
Breaking news: Schefter did not, in fact, have more to share after leaving the set. Sigh.

Uh, you definitely need all of your toes
If @AaronRodgers12 joins the @nyjets…@Espngreeny has said he will either do a darkness retreat or remove a toe.
This begs the question, how long would it take you to notice that your pinky toe was missing if you didn't know it was removed? #Greeny@BubbaTheGlue | @campratt14 pic.twitter.com/vrxoPhI6uo

I know Jets supporters like ESPN’s Mike Greenberg are desperate for a star QB, but we don’t have to be debating the merits of keeping all of your body parts. You assuredly need them!
