The Green Bay Packers trading away Aaron Rodgers just days before the 2023 NFL Draft completely changed the direction of two NFL franchises. While New York thought they were entering a Super Bowl window, Green Bay was hoping Jordan Love was the real deal.
Two full seasons later a lot has changed for both teams, but the uncertainty of Rodgers’ future Is still a constant. Today, one of his teammates was asked if he wants QB1 back in 2025.

According to Harrison Glaser, a New York beat reporter:
“If it was up to me, Aaron Rodgers would be coming back. On the field & off the field, he’s a great person. He takes our game to another level.”
As Jermaine Johnson related to Williams, Rodgers challenged him on the field during and off-season practice:
“He just comes in and was like, ‘What do you see right here?’ ” Johnson said. “I had a pretty good year last year, and I’m thinking I know something. I tell him what I see and he goes, ‘Hmm, OK, nothing else?’ and he’s almost challenging me, like ‘That’s all.’ He does a great job of making everyone around him better, which is a very, very key attribute to have in being a good leader, which every quarterback should be.
“Yes, obviously I’d like to have him back.”
