New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems unwilling to part ways with his beloved Wisconsin abode despite acquiring a lavish estate in New Jersey, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Amid his recent move to the Jets, Rodgers, currently sidelined due to injury, has no immediate plans to offload his long-time Wisconsin property, a source close to the quarterback shared with The Post.
Having called Wisconsin home since 2005 during his tenure with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers has developed a sentimental attachment to the area.
It remains uncertain, though, whether his decision to retain the Wisconsin property is linked to any potential future plans with his former team.
The Post has reached out to Rodgers’ representatives for further comment.
Back in 2015, the 40-year-old athlete purchased an expansive 10,500-square-foot estate in Oneida, situated a mere 20-minute drive from the iconic Lambeau Field stadium.
However, following his trade to the New York Jets in April and the acquisition of a $9.5 million, sleek 2-acre estate in Montclair, New Jersey, Rodgers bid farewell to his Wisconsin home.
Despite his transition to the East Coast, Rodgers’ decision to retain his Wisconsin property indeed seems rooted in nostalgia.
“He has no plans to sell the home at the moment. He still has a lot of his things there and considers the place of sentimental value,” the insider said.
The quarterback’s Wisconsin estate, initially purchased for $1.74 million — $400,000 below the home’s asking price — is an impressive four-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence nestled on a sprawling 5.32 acres.
Boasting an array of amenities including an office/library, poker room, billiards room, arcade room, brick theater, and a bar area, it’s not hard to understand why Rodgers is having a hard time letting go of the home.
The property also features a chef-inspired gourmet kitchen, a custom-designed indoor pool, a hot tub with a steam shower, a changing room and a lighted sports court.
Comparatively, his new New Jersey residence, spanning just under 4,000 square feet, lacks several amenities present in his Wisconsin abode.
However, the Montclair estate offers more bedrooms and bathrooms — eight bedrooms and 10 baths — and provides panoramic views of New York City through its expansive walls of windows.
