Aaron Rodgers is currently the biggest story in the NFL world. Overall, this is because he could very well be going to the New York Jets. For the third-straight offseason, he is teasing a departure from the Green Bay Packers. However, he always seems to go back to his former team. Although, it seems like this time is actually a whole lot different. For instance, last week, he met with the Jets and made it seem like he is actually very interested in what they have to offer.
Today is the start of NFL free agency, which means players can sign with whomever they want. Consequently, all of the insiders on Twitter want to get that first scoop. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport are the GOATs when it comes to NFL scoops. Although, there are some up-and-comers who are trying to take the crown. Unfortunately, this has led to some misinformation. For instance, earlier today, Dov Kleiman took to Twitter and said Aaron Rodgers to the Jets was a done deal. Moreover, he used Trey Wingo of all people as the source.
Aaron Rodgers To New York...Not!
As you can see above, Kleiman quickly retracted his reporting as soon as Ian Rapoport refuted it on the NFL Network. Despite this, the damage was done for about 10 minutes as fans acted as though Aaron Rodgers had, indeed, been traded. The reactions were a huge frenzy of football fans who could not believe Rodgers was going somewhere other than the Packers. Additionally, it led to jubilation among Jets fans. However, these same Jets fans had their hearts ripped out when they found out that the report was truly bogus.
Now, the Aaron Rodgers saga only gets that much more frustrating. Every offseason we are left waiting on whatever Rodgers wants to do. It is almost as if he is holding all of us, including the franchise that drafted him, hostage. Hopefully, we get some more clarity on all of this throughout the week. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this saga, down below.
