[Ravens](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/BAL/baltimore-ravens/) could well match any offer the Jets might make, preferring to let Gang Green negotiate for them.

The 39-year-old quarterback appears to have not yet signed off on a Packers trade to the Jets, despite both sides wanting the deal to happen – with one NFL ...

Lindstrom, 26, was the No. “Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t f--king done yet!” He had a career-high four interceptions in 2022. With Wilson also struggling, the Jets are pursuing Aaron Rodgers. He had three interceptions and 15 passes defended during the 2022 season. The Broncos are signing guard Ben Powers to a four-year, $52 million contract with $28.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. The Falcons are signing defensive tackle David Onyemata to a three-year, $35 million contract with $24.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. No one has heard from Aaron Rodgers on whether he wants to play.” The Lions are signing cornerback Cam Sutton to a three-year, $33 million contract with $22.5 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network. “I understand we’re still in January, March is free agency. “Nothing has happened. “Whether they trade him (or he retires) now or later, no impact for them.

Now that a deal seems to be close, those same players already are celebrating their successful recruitment on Twitter.

Signs appeared to point to Rodgers getting traded to the New York Jets from the Green Bay Packers in a deal that would change the landscape for both franchises.

One ESPN report noted before the start of the "legal tampering" period that the Jets and the Packers do not know what Rodgers is going to do. [was "essentially done,"](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/aaron-rodgers-trade-details-between-packers-jets-essentially-done-report) other NFL journalists have said nothing has happened as of yet. "I understand we’re still in January, March is free agency. "It’s always interesting meeting important figures in the sport. "I’m not going to hold them hostage," he said.

Rodgers' cap charge for 2023 nearly matches that amount: $15.74 million. Talks between the two parties have been ongoing for days. Other media outlets were more conservative Monday, with ESPN reporting the Jets were "cautiously optimistic" that Rodgers would agree to be traded.

Aaron Rodgers is on the brink of a trade from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets - but his delayed decision has left all parties handicapped ...

While Rodgers finished 2022 with 12 interceptions - the most he threw in a single campaign since 2008, his first year as a starter - Jets fans won’t care. Rodgers signed a monster new contract with the Packers last offseason to earn $50.27m (£41.3m) per year through the 2026 season, when he will be 43 years of age. Jets owner Woody Johnson has made it clear he is keen on securing a high-profile quarterback for the 2023 season and he met with Rodgers in California last week, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini. The 39-year-old has repeatedly said he doesn’t want to hold anyone hostage with his decision as he weighs up retirement, joining the Jets or returning to Green Bay for a 19th season. However, Rodgers’ inability to come to a decision has undoubtedly hamstrung the Jets. During the NFL legal tampering period, teams have the right to discuss ‘all aspects of an NFL player contract’ without actually signing a deal.

As the football world waits for him to make a decision about his future, Aaron Rodgers broke his silence. Well, his Twitter account did, anyway.

Several Jets players' tweets on Monday suggested Rodgers to New York was imminent. That turned out not to be the case — for now, at least.

Monday's sequence of events followed a social media campaign by several Jets players in an attempt to woo Rodgers to come to New York, including a humorous cheesehead-burning ritual. [March 13, 2023] Optimism toward the free-agent signing of the 2023 NFL offseason reached a fever pitch with receiver Garrett Wilson sending several tweets indicating Rodgers finally was ready to announce his decision, and on the first day of NFL free agency.

Allen Lazard wants to keep playing with Aaron Rodgers, and the Jets are actively pursuing both. Could that signify that a Rodgers trade is coming?

It certainly looks that way, as ESPN's Dianna Russini reports that Rodgers gave the Jets a list of free agents to target before landing him.

The Jets, desperate in their own right to finally have stability at quarterback, had their brass meet with Rodgers earlier this month to pitch him on a change of scenery. Even the Las Vegas Raiders, who had Davante Adams stumping for his former teammate, seemed to express little interest in a trade before signing Jimmy Garoppolo on Monday.

NFL Rumors: The free-agent landscape is waiting on Aaron Rodgers to make a decision. A trade between the Packers and Jets could happen Tuesday.

However, given it’s an open secret that Rodgers wants on the New York Jets, it’ll be hard to prove that this is anything beyond No. However, what if trading for Rodgers so openly has some unfortunate repercussions for the Jets? 12 merely suggesting that his friends follow his lead.

I want the Randall Cobbs of the world, if he wants to keep playing, in my locker room. The idea of several former Packers making the trip with Rodgers from Green Bay to New York is nothing new. Marcedes Lewis has also spent plenty of time with Rodgers, having been his teammate for the past five years in Green Bay. Last year, the 32-year-old receiver caught 34 passes for 417 yards and a touchdown. ESPN's Dianna Russini reported Rodgers has a "wish list" of players he wants New York to sign, including three Green Bay teammates and Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham will be 30 at the start of the campaign after missing all of 2022 as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered during Super Bowl 56.

The Packers QB is engaging in what appears to be a very familiar little dance.

The Jets lost a fan-and-locker-room-favorite backup in Mike White to the division rival [Dolphins](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIA/miami-dolphins/).

He's a first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback and one of the most exciting NFL players of his generation, regardless of positional value. Making matters even weirder: Rodgers has not committed to joining the Jets. And according to multiple reports, the Jets hammered out a deal to get the speedster a four-year, $44 million deal.
