Lamar Jackson went public with a trade demand Monday, 12 days into the official start of the Jets’ Aaron Rodgers standoff with the Packers.
As a result, a popular talking point has been reinvigorated: The Jets should begin kicking the tires on the Ravens’ star quarterback. Call it a feign to scare some sense into Green Bay. Or a much-needed backup plan if the Rodgers deal falls through. Either way, many believe Gang Green should begin dancing with Jackson and his camp. It is a reasonable stance. But not one the Jets should pursue.
