Aaron Rodgers Wants To Join N.Y. Jets

In an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ Wednesday, the veteran Green Bay Packers quarterback said he met with Jets management last week. He said the presence in New York of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hacket is a big factor in the Jets’ favor.

Hackett coached Rodgers in Green Bay from 2019-2021.

Any deal would require cooperation from the Packers, who still have Rodgers under contract.

Rodgers has won four NFL MVP awards since joining the Packers in 2005.
