Aaron Rodgers Tried to Recruit Calais Campbell to Jets Before Falcons Contract

Aaron Rodgers isn't officially a member of the New York Jets, but the soon-to-be Gang Green quarterback has been busy attempting to recruit players to the Meadowlands.

Veteran defensive end Calais Campbell, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency this offseason, told Josina Anderson of CBS Sports that Rodgers texted him to try and persuade him to sign with the Jets.

Campbell added that the Jets "made almost an equal offer" as the Falcons.

Campbell told Anderson:

"It was kind of crazy because Aaron Rodgers texted me and he's like 'come on man, let's go win a championship together.
