Will the Packers trade Aaron Rodgers? These 5 teams should send a trade offer ASAP

1. New England Patriots

Bill Belichick has no concerns about his job security. But do you really think he’ll willingly go into the season with Jarrett Stidham as his locked-in starting quarterback, and Brian Hoyer next up on the depth chart? It seems certain the Patriots will draft a quarterback, perhaps Jake Fromm or Jalen Hurts in the second or third round. A more urgent, theoretically more ready-made option (Cam Newton? Andy Dalton?) might land on the radar in New England after the draft.

Speculation about a Rodgers-Belichick marriage was almost too easy after the Packers drafted Love.

The Patriots are up against the salary cap ($1.229 million in space). So they would have to send some significant salary back to Green Bay to make room for Rodgers, and some other maneuvering/restructuring will probably have to happen.

The Packers surely aren’t inclined to move Rodgers immediately and it’s unlikely he will demand a trade right now. But it’s still interesting to speculate on where he might land and if/when the time does come for Rodgers to finish his career elsewhere he will have multiple interesting options.
