The New York Jets are in hot pursuit of Aaron Rodgers. Woody Johnson, Robert Saleh, Joe Douglas, and Nathaniel Hackett flew out to California on Tuesday to meet with Rodgers in person.
But the Jets’ meeting with Rodgers was not the only major quarterback news in the NFL on Tuesday. The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, which officially puts him on the market. Jackson is free to negotiate a contract with any team, and if the Ravens decline to match a contract he signs, Jackson’s new team would owe Baltimore two first-round picks.
