After sending virtually every key member of their organization to California to meet with Aaron Rodgers earlier this week, the New York Jets are feeling good about their chances to acquire the four-time NFL MVP in a trade.
On Thursday's episode of Get Up, ESPN's Dianna Russini reported there is "optimism" within the Jets that a deal can be worked out to bring in Rodgers:
"It actually started before that trip to the west coast to meet Aaron Rodgers in person. This was all driven by owner Woody Johnson. He wanted to get in front of the quarterback, get to know him a little bit, and talk about what it could be, what it could look like and what they could achieve with Aaron Rodgers under center in New York with this Jets roster.
