Report: Jets optimistic that they're "on the brink" of landing Aaron Rodgers

BOSTON -- A seismic shift could be coming to the AFC East in the form of Aaron Rodgers. And the Jets think it's happening.

According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, the Jets are optimistic that they're "on the brink" of acquiring Rodgers, after the team met with Rodgers this week in California.

"While optimism existed before the California meeting, Woody Johnson felt it was important to meet in person, sources said. Johnson left the meeting excited and satisfied about the potential match," Russini tweeted. "As the Jets internally are working under an optimism that this will happen, the Jets and the Packers remain engaged in conversations about compensation and contract, sources said.
