On Tuesday afternoon, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed the latest on a potential trade between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets.
Both sides have been working on an Aaron Rodgers trade for the past few months. However, the two sides appear to have hit a snag in their negotiations.
“My understanding is there hasn’t been a whole lot of conversation, if any, over the last couple of weeks, going back to the owners meetings,” Schefter told Laura Rutledge. “And so both sides now appear to be dug in, and we’ll see whether or not anything changes as we head up to the draft.”

The sporting world flocked to social media to react to the news.
“But I thought it was a sure thing and that the Jets were taking over the AFC East and going to win 81 consecutive Super Bowls?…. LOL,” one fan said.
“I can’t believe this is taking this long,” added another.
“It’ll be amazing when he just throws his hands up and retires,” said a third.
Will Rodgers be traded to the Jets before the NFL Draft at the end of the month?
