Aaron Rodgers made a brutal request to the Green Bay Packers almost two years before he was finally traded away from the team.
The legendary Packers quarterback had been with the team since 2005, going on to become one of the greatest of all-time. But after not playing up to his usual standards in 2018 and 2019, the Packers shocked the NFL world and drafted a quarterback in the first round of the 2020 draft - earmarking him to be Rodgers' replacement.
Rodgers replied by winning back-to-back MVP awards, showing the team they'd made a mistake in essentially writing him off and looking towards the future. But at the end of the 2023 season, Rodgers asked to be traded to the New York Jets, which eventually went through.
