49ers Reportedly Offered Massive Deal to Packers for Aaron Rodgers

The pervading thought ever since the 49ers traded up to No. 3 was that San Francisco was going to take Mac Jones. Then it was Justin Fields, then Trey Lance. It all sounds like the Niners are great at keeping a secret or have no idea what they're going to do in their pursuit of a franchise quarterback.

It turns out it might be the latter.

The 49ers apparently offered the Packers Jimmy Garoppolo, the No. 3 pick and more for the reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers, according to Minnesota Vikings play-by-play announcer Paul Allen.

The @49ers have offered the @Packers the 3rd overall pick in this year's draft, plus other picks and a number of players from their current roster including Garoppolo
for Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers turned them down.
First reported by @PAOnTheMic and confirmed by others.

Sounds like a crazy Madlib, right?

Maybe not.

The Niners did reach out to the Pack about Rodgers, but there's a "zero percent chance" that Green Bay trades their quarterback, per NFL Media.

The #49ers reached out to the #Packers on Wednesday about trading for Aaron Rodgers, but no formal offer was made and a source said there is a “zero percent chance” that Green Bay deals the reigning NFL MVP.
