Aaron Rodgers, Jets-Packers trade standoff: Breaking down leverage points, potential snags, likely time frame
CBSN
What's the holdup between the Jets and Packers on the Rodgers trade?
It's been over a month since Aaron Rodgers went on "The Pat McAfee Show" and gave what felt like the definitive turn toward his departure from the Green Bay Packers. The four-time NFL MVP stated that it was his intention to play for the New York Jets this coming season, paving the way for these two teams to then hammer out a trade. Since then, however, no trade has been executed and all sides of this saga are at a standstill with Rodgers floating in NFL purgatory.
The Packers' asking price for Rodgers and the Jets' unwillingness to meet it to this point has us in a Cold War where things have remained stagnant since the QB's declaration in March. But who has the leverage at this point with the NFL Draft less than a week away? Below, we'll dive into the case for each side of this coin, while also highlighting some possible snags that could turn this entire ordeal upside down, and a look at the time frame for when something could happen.
