Report: Jets had conversations with Aaron Rodgers

The New York Jets and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had conversations on Monday, sources told Trey Wingo. While nothing is imminent, Rodgers is open to playing for the Jets, Wingo adds.

Rodgers has still not made a decision on his playing future, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

The conversation suggests the Packers could be willing to trade Rodgers, who signed a three-year, $150-million contract with Green Bay last offseason. He is set to have a $31.6-million cap hit in 2023, according to Over The Cap.

This comes on the same day of Derek Carr signing with the New Orleans Saints, who previously met with the Jets. Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler are the only quarterbacks signed for 2023, as Joe Flacco and Mike White are scheduled to hit free agency.

The Jets hold the 13th overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft and have minus $1.7 million in cap space, per Over The Cap.

Rodgers started all 17 games for the Packers last season, throwing for 3,695 yards with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Green Bay finished 8-9 and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
