Falcons defensive end Calais Campbell revealed that Aaron Rodgers tried to lure him to the Jets during this year’s NFL free agency.
Since Rodgers announced his intention to play for New York on March 15, the four-time MVP has remained on the cusp of a trade to the franchise after 18 seasons with the Packers. But in the meantime, Campbell told Josina Anderson of CBS Sports that the 39-year-old texted him about coming to New York so the two could win a Super bowl together.
While Campbell appreciated Rodgers reaching out, he chose to sign a one-year, $7 million deal with the Falcons to aid in restoring a winning culture in Atlanta.
