Irate Aaron Rodgers wants Packers to trade him to one of these three teams after ugly fallout in Green Bay

It seems that Aaron Rodgers' relationship with the Green Bay Packers has finally reached the point of no return. According to multiple reports, the 2020 NFL MVP has made it clear to the Packers that he wants out of Green Bay. The demand comes roughly one year after the Packers used a first-round pick on Jordan Love, who was drafted as Rodgers' potential replacement.

To help facilitate a trade, Rodgers has apparently already put together a list of three teams that he would like to be dealt to. According to Pro Football Talk, those three teams are the: 49ers, Broncos and Raiders. PFT has also reported that a trade could go down as soon as this weekend.

As for the three teams on Rodgers' wish list, the 49ers actually reached out to the Packers about a possible trade for Rodgers on Wednesday, but they got shot down by Green Bay before they could even put an offer on the table. According to PFT, Rodgers actually wanted the Packers to accept San Francisco's offer, which would have included the third-overall pick in the draft.

The reason Rodgers trade demands are coming out now is because he apparently gave the team an ultimatum. According to former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo, the Packers told Rodgers they would trade him this offseason and when they changed their mind, the QB became angry. At some point over the past week, Rodgers told the team that they would have to trade him because he had no plans to play for them ever again. The Packers had a chance to trade Rodgers in late January, but they rebuffed the Rams after Los Angeles called to see if the reigning MVP was available. After getting turned down by the Packers, the Rams eventually made a deal with the Lions and traded Jared Goff and a few picks to Detroit for Matthew Stafford.

According to Google...
Rodgers does not have a no-trade clause in his contract. But he also has no more guaranteed money left on his deal, which included a $57.5 million signing bonus that at the time was the largest in NFL history.

So how does he get away with demanding a trade to one of three teams?
