The rumors of Aaron Rodgers possibly heading to Denver are not going away. In fact, they got even stronger this week..
The Denver Broncos, now coached by former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, are reportedly “pushing hard” to land Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a trade this offseason.
USA TODAY reported on Monday that Hackett is telling the Broncos that he plans on pushing hard for Rodgers.
“While the Packers are reportedly going to go all in to retain Aaron Rodgers, a trusted source says that Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett told members of the team he is pushing hard to trade for the defending MVP this offseason,” Brendan Sugrue tweeted.
“No one,” Aaron Rodgers said of Hackett, his offensive coordinator and partner in crime in Green Bay from 2019-21, “brings me more joy.”
That quote will continue to stick out if Rodgers does in fact push for a trade to the Mile High cty.

During the NFL Honors Thursday night, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was awarded his fourth MVP award. This marks the second-straight year he’s won the award. This year, Rodgers’ on-the-field play was stellar, with 4,115 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, and only four interceptions.
Peyton Manning also had the same number of MVP’s before he made his move to the Broncos. The only difference in their situations is that the Colts wanted to move on from him to bring in Andrew Luck, while the Packers want Rodgers back with the team.
