WFAN’s Boomer Esiason has thoughts on Aaron Rodgers’ Jets jersey number

While we’re still in wait-and-see mode, all signs are pointing to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers playing for the Jets in 2023. Once a trade between New York and the Green Bay Packers happens, there’s another piece of business to figure out.

What number will Rodgers wear for Gang Green?

Back when we were still unsure how possible Rodgers-to-New-York was, Jets legend Joe Namath openly said he’d be happy for the signal-caller to wear his number. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback has had his number retired since 1985. So, that’d be quite a bit of dust to clean off before Rodgers puts that number on his back at MetLife Stadium.
