When it comes to an interesting offseason, the Aaron Rodgers trade dilemma is one that sits at the top with the rest. It has been a month since the Green Bay Packers legend let his intentions of playing for the New York Jets be known to the world. But despite his intentions, both the franchises have not been able to come to a feasible conclusion to help A-Rod transition from Green Bay to New York. With the draft just a few days away, fans will be waiting in anticipation for a final light to shine surrounding A-Rod’s future in the NFL. Recently, a probable teammate of Rodgers has put up a brave challenge in front of the back-to-back MVP.

Despite the uncertainty, Jets CB and Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner has already placed an interesting challenge to Rodgers for his arrival to New York.

Sauce Gardner eyeing an MVP-worthy season

During a recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast with Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, the Jets CB talked about the situation and his relationship with the Packers legend. During the conversation, Jason asked Sauce Gardner if the team is already working on a Sauce-Rodgers connection to be seen on the field.

To this Gardner replied, saying, “If Aaron Rodgers becomes Jet. That’s definitely gonna be in the talks. Lets make it happen man. I might have to get MVP. When you think MVP, there like quarterbacks be the first ballot when it comes to picks.”

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes took home the MVP award for the 2022 season. And it seems like the rookie CB is eyeing a shot at the title after his spectacular rookie season at the Jets00.

Gardner’s fantastic rookie season

Sauce Gardner was picked up by the New York Jets as the No 4 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. In that same year, he won the AP Defensive Rookie Player of the Year award. This makes him the fifth Jets player to clinch the rookie title. Gardner had an impressive first season in New York. He had 75 tackles, and 2 interceptions and led the NFL with 20 pass defenses.

After putting up such impressive numbers in his debut season, Gardner will be eyeing an MVP contention in the 2023 season, along with the arrival of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets.
