Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers finally made it known to the world that it is time for him to move on. During an interaction at the ‘Pat McAfee show’, Rodgers opened up about how his intention is to play for the New York Jets in the upcoming season. The Jets have been holding talks with the Packers for a possible trade for the four-time NFL MVP. But there are hurdles in this trade deal to pull through as the Packers decide the best returns if they decide to do away with their legendary QB. But even if the deal pulls through, there is another difficulty the 39-year-old veteran QB will face at the Jets.

As the talk about A-Rod’s trade picks up heat, an old clip of Jet’s QB Zach Wilson goes viral on the internet.

An old quote goes viral amidst Aaron Rodgers trade talks

During an interview in January, reporters asked Zach Wilson for his opinion about a veteran being signed by the Jets during the offseason. Wilson did not seem too thrilled at the idea of a veteran replacing him on the field. He said, “I’m going to make that dude’s life hell in practice”. Wilson looked to fight for his spot in the team as a QB as he said that he will train harder to prove his worth to the coaches and to the team.
