Over a month ago, when we were still trying to figure out when Aaron Rodgers would be traded to the New York Jets, so was ESPN’s Adam Schefter. When Schefter sought clarification, Rodgers rudely shot him down over text.
On Wednesday, with Rodgers officially being introduced as a Jet and discussing his fallout with the Packers, he was asked about the best phone number to contact him.
The quarterback noted that Schefter would be the person to ask for such a query. This was a clear (and hilarious) reference to their past text awkwardness. Clearly, Rodgers saw how Schefter shared that exchange on Twitter for the world to see:
Reporter: “What’s the best number to reach you at?”
Aaron Rodgers: “Ask Adam Schefter.”

In response, Schefter joked with a creative reaction to Rodgers: He, unfortunately, “lost” the quarterback’s number:
Lost that number…. https://t.co/Mrobclm6Kx

Perfection. What a capper to this hilariously awkward saga between quarterback and information broker.
