Things appear to be seriously heating up between Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. According to multiple reports, the former NFL MVP has received permission to have discussions with the Jets. And what's more, he's reportedly "open" to suiting up for the Jets, per NFL insider Trey Wingo.
“While nothing is imminent,” Wingo wrote on Twitter, “Rodgers is open to the idea of going to NY.”
Rodgers himself recently appeared to imply that Green Bay won't know his plans for a while yet.
“It’s best for anybody who has an interest in this to make a decision sooner rather than later,” Rodgers said via Tyler Dunne. “I remember before [Brett] Favre retired, there were times in April and May, we weren’t sure if he was going to come back because he didn’t come to any of the offseason program. Then in 2008, he actually did retire in March and then said, ‘No, no, no,’ in June after OTAs, I actually want to come back and play. That’s when he was traded to the Jets. There was obviously a lot of tension that summer. For everybody involved directly and indirectly, it’s best for a decision earlier.”
We'll keep our eyes peeled for any further developments.
