They certainly are now that Rodgers says he wants the trade.

Were they similarly motivated before that happened? It's plausible but not confirmed. All we know is they haven't said that publicly and they didn't come out and say it to Rodgers either. They just said it to Rodgers "in so many words." Which could be interpreted many different ways.
