The New York Jets feel optimistic about the team’s chances of landing quarterback Aaron Rodgers and believe they could be “on the brink” of completing the trade for four-time NFL MVP, according to new reporting from Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Also from Russini, Jets owner Woody Johnson left a meeting with Rodgers in California on Tuesday feeling “excited and satisfied about the potential match.”
The Jets believe a deal will happen and remain in conversation with the Packers about all the logistics, including compensation and Rodgers’ contract, per Russini.
The two teams must determine what assets would go to the Packers in a trade, and how best to adjust Rodgers’ contract to fit the needs of both the Jets and Packers.
