According to Pro Football Talk, the 49ers, the Broncos and the Raiders are all on Aaron Rodgers’ ‘wish list’ of teams to play for after demanding a trade from the Green Bay Packers.
In a SportsCenter appearance on Sunday morning, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler dropped major news that the Raiders ‘intrigue’ the reigning MVP the most.
“[Aaron Rodgers] is reportedly intrigued by the Raiders as well, so they have to be on this list. They’re happy with Derek Carr; nothing’s going on right now, and they very well could extend Derek Carr sometime soon. But the Raiders look into every single quarterback situation. … They looked at past free agents or trade options. So, Jon Gruden is sort of always lurking. You can’t discount them.”
Fowler went on to say the Raiders also heavily scouted Trey Lance before the 2021 NFL draft. He, of course, went No. 3 overall to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday.
“I was asking around about Trey Lance before the draft, and I was told the Raiders were one of the teams that looked most closely at Lance—did a ton of research on all the quarterbacks.”
As of right now, the Raiders are viewed as the second favorite team to trade for Rodgers at +800.
