Jets owner 'anxious' for team to finalize Aaron Rodgers trade

PHOENIX -- After several weeks of pursuing quarterback Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is eager to finalize a trade with the Green Bay Packers.

"Well, you know, I think we're anxious. We're anxious," Johnson told a small group of reporters Tuesday at the NFL's annual meeting. "I guess, as we look forward, we're optimistic. But we have a plan, so we're willing to stick with our plan. "And I don't think anybody is hyperventilating at this point."

Johnson, commenting for the first time on Rodgers, recalled the moment two weeks ago when Rodgers announced his intention to play for the Jets in 2023.
