Aaron Jones delivers strong message to Aaron Rodgers on returning to Packers

Aaron Jones knows how important Aaron Rodgers is to the Green Bay Packers franchise.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones pleaded his case for Aaron Rodgers to return.

Rodgers is in the midst of spending four days in complete darkness, completely cut off from the rest of the world. He may not be doing a panchakarma cleanse or some good, ole ayahuasca, but hopefully, Rodgers finds light amid the darkness this offseason. Jones is in the midst of his prime as the Green Bay running back, so he would love nothing more than for Rodgers to come back.

Here is what Jones said about Rodgers coming back while on More Ways to Win at Radio Row.

Aaron Jones wants Aaron Rodgers to return to the Green Bay Packers in 2023

The funniest part of Jones’ comments about Rodgers is that if the Green Bay quarterback were to come out of complete darkness and decide to retire, the Packers running back would tell him to go back in there for four more days. Realistically, it is a year-to-year proposition for Rodgers at this point of his career. He is pushing 40 and has already accomplished everything at the highest level.

Frankly, we are at a point in his career where Rodgers may look to play somewhere else. If he were to leave Green Bay by way of a trade, two teams that make a lot of sense for him would have to be the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets. The Silver and Black are moving off Derek Carr this offseason, while Gang Green needs to pivot off the disaster that was the Zach Wilson draft pick.

Of course, other teams like the Tennessee Titans could be interested in trading for him as well. Ultimately, Green Bay’s competitive life window remains open as long as Rodgers remains their starting quarterback, or the Packers land a veteran signal-caller who can closely approximate what he can do at the position. That would be someone like Carr or Ryan Tannehill coming over.

Jones will still get his touches in Matt LaFleur’s system, but he needs a guy like Rodgers to lean on.
