For those Jets fans claiming the comments from Joe Douglas at a New York event promising that the arrival of Aaron Rodgers was going to happen meant the deal was done, you may want to take a seat for this one.
Rich Cimini of ESPN New York claims that while Douglas was having a good time playing to a New York crowd, there has been no movement on the deal between the Jets and Packers since the owners meetings in Phoenix. It was at those meetings that Douglas said he was “very optimistic” that a deal would get done, but the teams clearly hadn’t gotten to the finish line just yet.
