In the comics, Aaron appears at the end of issue 67 and Negan isn't mentioned until issue 96. There's still plenty of story for them to cover if they want to follow the comics.

If Negan is introduced this early into the show's storyline, Rick and the group have no attachment to Alexandria or the idea of establishing some semblance of a normal life, so they have no reason to fight back when Negan's people come after Alexandria. They would just look at him and see another Governor-type situation and leave.

I'd be surprised if Negan's name is mentioned for at least a year. There are only 5 episodes left this season, and they still need to decide if they want to stay in Alexandria, and the leaders in Alexandria need to decide if they want them to stay. That will likely take the rest of the season.
