While Rodgers has remained coy about his own
decision-making timeline, Pro Football Network reported Monday
that "Rodgers to the Jets is done."
Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who won NFL Offensive Rookie
of the Year while catching passes from Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco
and Mike White, chimed in shortly afterward.
"I can finally enjoy my vacay now," he tweeted from the island
of Saint Barthelemy, following that up with, "Y'all (should) see
this smile on me (right now)."
Other media outlets were more conservative Monday, with ESPN
reporting the Jets were "cautiously optimistic" that Rodgers
would agree to be traded.
Talks between the two parties have been ongoing for days. Green
Bay Packers president Mark Murphy confirmed Friday that the team
granted Rodgers permission to speak with the Jets about a deal
that would put the four-time NFL MVP in Gotham Green.
The Jets visited Rodgers, 39, in California last week, and
reports Wednesday indicated there was optimism New York was "on
the verge" of acquiring Rodgers.
The Jets then restructured the contracts of cornerback DJ Reed,
guard Laken Tomlinson and tight end Tyler Conklin to save $15.2
million of cap space in 2023. Rodgers' cap charge for 2023
nearly matches that amount: $15.74 million.
No trades for players under contract can be made official until
the first day of the NFL league year.
