Aaron Rodgers days at the Green Bay Packers might be coming to an end. The QB has made his intentions clear of playing for the New York Jets for the upcoming season on the Pat McAfee show on Wednesday. He said that he had made the decision on Friday, but the asking price by the Packers is the main reason the trade is being held up. But after a vaccine controversy, the quarterback is receiving backlash again for this decision he made, as the Jets are owned by the Pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson.

The world sees A-Rod’s decision to play with the Jets as a hypocritical move in light of his anti-vaccine endorsement online.

Aaron Rodgers blame game for hypocrisy.

On Wednesday, the quarterback made his path clear by stating that he is in line to team up with the New York Jets for the upcoming 2023 season of the NFL. After 18 years with the Packers, the team is willing to trade their star quarterback but things are still in the workshop in terms of a suitable negotiation for the 39-year-old. This brought in heaps of criticism for the player, as he established himself as a big critic of big pharma in sports. But Woody and Christopher Johnson own the Jets, who are two big names in the pharma world.

“Call the Jets”: NFL Insider Sounds Off on Aaron Rodgers After Unneeded Delay Reports

After spending 4 days in complete darkness, it was almost sure that Aaron Rodgers would be retiring from professional football. After the Packers changed their stance with A-Rod post his darkness retreat, the QB felt his time with the Packers drew closer to an end.

Who are the New York Jets owners?

Woody Johnson and Christopher Johnson are the owners of the New York Jets. Apart from this, they are also the heir to Johnson & Johnson, a company that manufactures COVID-19 vaccines. It is a brainer that after A-Rod went on a rant against those vaccines, stating that big pharmaceuticals are trying to portray him as a villain, his decision to play for the Jets would turn heads in the NFL world.

While it has become clear that we will be seeing A-Rod in action for the Jets, the finalization of this negotiation still does not have a clear timeframe for it. The next few days will determine how the deal with the Jets looks like for both the player and the team. The NFL world will be waiting with heavy anticipation to see the start of another journey for A-Rod.
