Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets feels like a done deal. Rodgers has recently admitted that he intends to be with the team this upcoming season. However, with the delay, there are some wondering if other teams would be interested. On Tuesday, rumors were reported that the San Francisco 49ers were now in the mix for Rodgers. Now it feels like that report is beginning to lose steam. For one former Jets QB, he doesn’t believe Rodgers ends up anywhere but New York.
Boomer Esiason, who spent a few years in New York, still believes the Jets are the landing spot. On his hit radio show, Boomer & Gio, Esiason gave his thoughts on the recent 49ers rumors. “That’s just not the way you want to conduct business — especially when you get an owner involved. [Woody Johnson] has got to get on his plane… and go talk to Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers says he only wants to play for the Jets.” Esiason believes the motion has already been placed for the Jets to receive Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers Will Be With The Jets Next Season
The idea of the Jets adding Rodgers has had fans in a frenzy. Jets fans are constantly looking for updates on the potential move. It seems as if compensation is the hold between the Packers and Jets. Green Bay can string this deal along until the Jets sweat a little. However, it seems as though the Jets are just waiting on word from Green Bay. The Packers-Aaron Rodgers relationship ended in a free fall. Rodgers has been frustrated with the organization in recent years regarding the draft and free agency.
The worst-kept secret in the league is still holding fans on edge. That is why reports of a new team entering the mix brought out many emotions. Seeing Rodgers in another uniform will take the entire league time to get used to. The situation mirrors the same predicament the Packers faced with the QB prior to Rodgers, in Brett Favre. Will the move make the Jets one of the favorites for next year’s Super Bowl? Or will the deal end up hurting both teams? Let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comment section below.
