Rumor: Patriots tried to trade for Aaron Rodgers

I'm not too sure about the rumor or the source.

Rumor: Aaron Rodgers DENIED Patriots' Attempted Trade

Wonder what the offer was? Too bad, would have been a decent move for Belichick to close out his career as a contender. Not surprised Rodgers turned it down, although he might have thought twice about it if he knew we were going after Hopkins.

Phew. Sure dodged a bullet there. I ****ing hate that clown!

Retweet x 10. Loser.

How many times have we needed to listen to ‘experts’ talk about the most talented QB in the league. The guy blows every chance he gets to win a SB in spectacular fashion.

One SB title that was driven primarily by his D. Talking about D, AR is about the biggest one in sports.

But, but, but Mac made the probowl in 2021.

I could've swore there were rumors about this before as well. Not hard to believe, both ways. Us wanting him and him turning us down.

Extra fuel for Big Mac.

Not sure about that one but it makes sense. Rodgers said many times it's the Jets or retirement. Seems clear cut to me.

 

[WinstonSmith]

So the degenerate gambler that was convicted of running a Ponzi scheme heard a rumor...

Sounds credible.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

When a guy of that talent is available, you have to inquire, especially when your situation at QB is not set in stones.

That being said, I am glad he did not come... **** Aaron Rodgers.

I really don’t give a rats ass at this point.

Hey, take that sarcasm back.

4th alternate to the Pro Bowl is kinda, sorta impressive. Consider this... If three teams ahead of us last year opted out of the playoffs, we would have been a 5 seed Wildcard!

You guys know the rules.

I would guess he refused (if the rumor is true) as nothing he could ever do in NE would ever come close to TB12 and playing second fiddle to anyone is not a place AR would care for. His rep has nothing to lose and everything to gain in NY.

Very simple, AR looked at the offense.. obviously before FA.. jets have Wilson and Lazard on the outside..

There was no offer. This story is complete bs.

Add in the fact that there is no way in hell he would’ve been able to make demands of personnel. It would’ve been horrible after the honeymoon phase.

I'm pretty sure they signed Lazard after it was clear behind the scenes that Rodgers was going to be traded there.

Oh most definitely we all knew it was a done deal from the start! AR he'll of a QB.. but I believe the team did thier due diligence and decided its best to stay the course with Mac...

I’m not opposed to upgrading Mac but…not who I would choose .

May as well see what Mac really is this season then go from there.

I've always said upgrade AROUND Mac like eagles did with hurts... I'm all set on Roger's. We know he can play he showed that his rookie season.
