WFAN radio show host Craig Carton floated the idea of the San Francisco 49ers swooping in and making a trade for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, despite him declaring his intention to join the New York Jets.
“Aaron Rodgers would absolutely want to play for this franchise,” Craig Carton said on his FS1 show. “The franchise is the San Francisco 49ers. They have Trey Lance coming off a broken ankle. They’ve got Brock Purdy, who is not going to be throwing the ball until August or September, and they signed Sam Darnold. They do not have a quarterback right now, maybe Trey becomes a stud.”
Carton also addressed why Rodgers would want to go from the Packers to the 49ers, despite the fact that San Francisco passed on him in the NFL Draft.
