1. All signs are pointing to Aaron Rodgers’s being traded from the Packers to the Jets, but as of this writing, the deal has not been officially announced.

However, not many people are giving Rodgers the benefit of the doubt here since he loves attention and then complaining about getting attention, combined with his love of messing with the media.
