Packers get Aaron Rodgers warning from Emmanuel Acho as teams circle former MVP - "Stop being held hostage"
The Green Bay Packers could trade Aaron Rodgers after the season is over, and many teams are interested in getting the reigning NFL MVP to join them. Many believe this is the right time for the franchise to move on from Rodgers and give Jordan Love the opportunity that he has been waiting for three years.
The #Packers will want at least two 1st round picks in a trade for QB Aaron Rodgers, Peter King shares in his column.
King adds that #Jets owner Woody Johnson would happily pay that price. The question remains if Rodgers even wants to play for NY. https://t.co/BO7UHPpOGM
Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker and current Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho is advising the Green Bay Packers to immediately move away from Rodgers and his shenanigans.
Here's what Emmanuel Acho said about Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers:
"It is time Packers for you to believe in yourself and stop being held hostage by Aaron Rodgers with Rogers now went 9-8 this year. With Rodgers y'all missed the playoffs this year, with Rogers y'all dealt with a lot of headaches this year."
He continued:
"You can go 9-8, miss the playoffs and deal with less headaches with Jordan Love. Now, I don't think you will because the nucleus of my argument is very much so this before I hear from you."
Acho added:
"It is time to completely change the old guard for the Green Bay Packers. It is time to move on from the old guard, let them go be great elsewhere if not out of football…"
The Packers could get multiple first-round picks in exchange for Rodgers and that could help them add more quality players to surround Jordan Love. However, as per some reports, the team is unwilling to trade their veteran quarterback to a team in the NFC, and a move to the AFC is likely.
New York Jets will make a lot of sense for Aaron Rodgers
With the Packers unwilling to trade Rodgers to a team in the NFC, the New York Jets seem like the best destination for the Packers quarterback. The Jets would have reached the playoffs if they had a good quarterback and Rodgers would certainly elevate them.
The Jets also have a stellar defense and young playmakers all around the field. The AFC is tough, but having a good defense is a luxury that Rodgers hasn't experienced much in his career.
7 years ago today, Aaron Rodgers made arguably the greatest throw in NFL history. https://t.co/10sUCpXbuQ
Aaron Rodgers himself is not bitter by the news that the franchise might be looking to trade him, due to which, a move looks likely.
