Insider Jeremy Fowler revealed a major reason behind George Pickens’ abrupt trade — the inevitable arrival of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.

“He’s still throwing the (expletive) out of the ball, honestly,” the coach said to Fowler. “He’s the best quarterback they’ve had since (Ben Roethlisberger). We will see how the body holds up, but I think he’s going to help them immensely.”
