The two look set to became team-mates and even closer pals, and Wilson will learn some priceless lessons from Rodgers if the deal goes through. But Wilson is still aiming to push Rodgers for the starter spot, after an honest admission back in January. The Packers and the Jets are still negotiating trade terms, but it looks like for the first time since 2005, Rodgers will be gearing up for a different franchise.

Rodgers backed up Favre for three seasons after the Packers selected him out of California with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft. Saleh and Johnson have both expressed their interest in adding a veteran quarterback to a roster that already features one of the league's best defenses. One year later, he skipped the Packers' mandatory minicamp in a standoff with Packers management. Now Rodgers believes his time in Green Bay is done. 'It was clear to me at that point, that although the Packers were going to say the right thing publicly, that they were ready to move on,' he said. Rodgers said he was 90 percent leaning toward retirement at the time of the retreat. He said on Friday that he had discussions with Packers officials regarding his future shortly after the team wrapped up a 8-9 season that ended a string of three straight NFC North titles. 'At this point, as I sit here, I think since Friday I've made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets,' Rodgers said. If you want to come back and play, obviously the door is wide open,''' Rodgers said. 'Yeah, I'm going to make that dude's life hell in practice every day,' said the 23-year-old, who went 5-4 in nine starts out of a possible 17 last season. This is just one of the things that we go through as a team. We want to try to achieve something that's good for both Aaron and us.'

At the end of the season last year, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson said he would welcome a veteran quarterback into the room if the franchise moved ...

Wilson was drafted to be the future at quarterback for the Jets, but has struggled to find his footing in the NFL. If the trade goes through, Rodgers will be under contract with the Jets until 2026. For at least the foreseeable future, Wilson will be a backup. It’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me.” my intention was to play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said. The details of the trade are being finalized, but it feels inevitable now that the Green Bay Packers will ship Rodgers off to New York.

Zach Wilson made some comments back in January that are going viral right now after Aaron Rodgers announces he wants to play for the Jets.

Probably the best for him at this point. The two have grown a close relationship. That would at least be a good sign for his future in the NFL.

Zach Wilson might regret some words he shared about the Jets signing a veteran to be QB1. The team is expected to add Aaron Rodgers.

This might honestly be the best thing that could have happened to Zach Wilson. All he said was that his intention is to play for the Jets and it’s time to move on. The idea he’s going to make Rodgers’ “life hell in practice every day” is just comical. Instead of trying to make his “life hell,” he’ll learn from him. Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been traded to the Jets just yet. Owner Woody Johnson even openly stated something had to happen at the QB position.
