The New York Jets have been the most talked about team when it comes to a possible trade for Aaron Rodgers. That news is music to the ears of Jets fans, but there are some out there like Pro Football Hall of Famer and Jets legend Joe Klecko, who thinks adding Rodgers to the roster could ruin everything the team has going on right now.
Klecko didn’t mince words when speaking against the possible move.
“I don’t think Rodgers is a fit with the young guys,” Klecko said on CBS Sports Radio. “I [was] with a young team that came up and we started winning. Why it was a good fit with all of us was because we all worked together. We all came up together.
“I’ve watched Rodgers over the years. He’s a great player. You don’t become MVP three times without doing what he’s done, but when he didn’t have the receivers and gameplan and the line — his attitude is condescending so much as a player. He doesn’t want to come to the huddle at all.”
Klecko would rather the team go after former Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr. He might be the stud Rodgers is, but Carr isn’t a guy that when things don’t go his way, he “goes dark,” like Rodgers, Klecko said.
The Jets recently hired Rodgers’ former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. His arrival may persuade Rodgers to bring his talents to town. That was the same thinking the Denver Broncos had last offseason and it did not work as Rodgers signed a new deal with the Packers.
If Rodgers gets traded, it’ll end his 15-year run as the Packers’ starting quarterback and likely send the team into a rare rebuild that they haven’t had to deal with since before Brett Favre came to town.
