The Jets sent a contingent to meet with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday, and any further discussions about a possible trade that would land him in New Jersey will reportedly have to take place remotely.
Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN reports that the Jets group expected to fly home Wednesday morning after spending the afternoon and evening with Rodgers. The group reportedly included Jets owner Woody Johnson, General Manager Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

Martin says a “getting-to-know-you session was the immediate focus” of the meeting and that it is seen as a “first step” in the process of working towards a deal. However, Rodgers knows Hackett well from their time together in Green Bay, and the looming start of free agency seems to call for things to pick up pretty quickly so both teams can move forward with knowledge of who their 2023 quarterback will be to. be.
Right now, though, there’s no indication when we’ll know what Rodgers will do this season.
UPDATE 9:16 a.m. ET: ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reports it the flight back from California landed Wednesday morning.
