Aaron Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday and explained to the world why he no longer wants to play for the Packers and that he is committed to playing for the Jets if the two teams can work out a deal. 

The 39-year-old QB also went in on ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Rodgers shared that he got a text message from the NFL insider and he wasn’t too pleased to be hearing directly from him.

Rodgers didn’t mince his words in his response to Schefter, telling him: “Lose my number. Nice try."

Take a listen:

Nice try, Schefter.
