Despite longtime Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers announcing his intention to play for the Jets in 2023, the two sides “were not close to completing a deal” as of Wednesday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday.
Green Bay and New York are reportedly haggling over compensation for Rodgers, who has been with the team since he was drafted in 2005. Despite the Packers looking to—as Rodgers put it—“move on” from him, the team would obviously still like adequate compensation for the four-time MVP.
“All I can tell you is that Green Bay believes its right, the Jets believe they’re right and now we wait to see how the two sides can find a way to somehow meet in the middle and come up with a simple solution,” Schefter said. “That’s where the two sides are right now, far apart.”
