When the Denver Broncos hired former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in 2022, it led to heavy speculation that the team would also attempt to trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers had spoken glowingly about Hackett in the past, and some pundits speculated that the Broncos hired the coach merely to lure Rodgers to Denver. The Broncos were interested in Rodgers last spring, but the quarterback ultimately decided to remain in Green Bay.
