Now that Aaron Rodgers has said he wants to play for the Jets, let’s answer some questions about what comes next:

Q: When can a trade get done?

A: Whenever the Packers and Jets agree to a deal. The new league year started on Wednesday and teams are now free to execute trades.

There is nothing holding this up now except the two sides agreeing on compensation for Rodgers.

Q: Is there a deadline to get a trade done?

A: There is no firm deadline to get a trade done because Rodgers’ contract does not have any triggers in it where money gets guaranteed on a certain date.

In fact, the Packers can wait this thing out and might be inclined to.

Aaron Rodgers declared his desire to play for the Jets on Wednesday.

Now, the Jets just have to figure out a way to get him from the Packers. 

The four-time MVP quarterback appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and ended speculation about whether he wanted to continue playing and whether that would be with the Jets. 

“I think since Friday I made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said. “I haven’t been holding anything up at this point.

“It’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me and kind of digging their heels in.” 

By going public with his desire to move to the Jets, Rodgers has now put pressure on their general manager, Joe Douglas, and Packers GM Brian Gutekunst to get something done.

Aaron Rodgers clarified Wednesday that while he does want to play quarterback for the Jets, he is not interested in being their general manager.

Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers said he did not demand the Jets sign anyone as a prerequisite for him to agree to go to the team. An ESPN report on Tuesday said that Rodgers had given the Jets a “wish list” of players for them to target that included his former teammates Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Marcedes Lewis and also former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. The Jets did agree to a deal with Lazard on Tuesday.

But Rodgers took umbrage with the perception that he was forcing the Jets to sign anyone.

The narrative about the holdup in the trade of Aaron Rodgers to the Jets has quickly changed.

For the past several days, the feeling was that Rodgers was the one taking his sweet time in signing off on a deal that would bring him to New York.

Perceptions shifted during the quarterback’s appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday when he accused Green Bay of gumming up the process.

The Packers are "willing to trade" Aaron Rodgers, according to ESPN, though they're not expected to comment on Rodgers saying he intends to play for the Jets.

The California kid turned Wisconsin Cheesehead is now coming to the Big Apple.

The longtime Packers quarterback said Wednesday that his “intention” is to play for the Jets in 2023, which comes after an extended courtship between the two sides that appeared to be heading toward an inevitable marriage in the early days of NFL free agency.

Even without an official trade on the books, the news immediately prompted oddsmakers at BetMGM to shorten New York’s odds to 14/1 to win the Super Bowl – its shortest title price since dealing at 12/1 during the Rex Ryan era entering the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

Well, that was perfectly exhausting.

And now comes the fun part.

Now comes Aaron Rodgers’ opportunity to prove that all the drama, all the diva-ing, all the suspense, all the silly emotional turmoil he inflicted (wittingly or unwittingly) on the Jets and their torture-addicted fans was worth it, assuming the I’s get dotted and the T’s get crossed in the negotiations between the Jets and the Packers.

ESPN star Mike Greenberg's wife Stacy previously showed the agony her husband was going through during the Aaron Rodgers saga.

Now the Jets fan is celebrating.

Aaron Rodgers was not thrilled about the reporting surrounding his trade saga.

Rodgers, who revealed Wednesday he intends to play for the Jets, denied that he gave the Jets a “wish list” of players that he wanted the team to sign — and had some harsh words to ESPN insider Adam Schefter in the process.

Aaron Rodgers made it clear: It’s on the Packers now.

Rodgers said Wednesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” it has been his intention to play for the Jets since Friday, but the Packers are holding a trade up.

“I haven’t been holding anything up. At this point it’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me, kind of digging their heels in. It is interesting at this point to step back and take a look at the whole picture,” Rodgers said.

So, what do the Packers want?

While he didn't name anyone, Aaron Rodgers said other teams were interested in him aside from the Jets.

He did think about "reuniting especially with one specific person," which Pat McAfee quickly pointed out was Davante Adams, whom the Packers traded to the Raiders last year.

Rodgers wouldn't say who it was but offered no resistance.

Joe Namath said in January he would want Aaron Rodgers to wear No. 12 if Rodgers comes to the Jets. Will Rodgers take Namath up on that?

"There will be time for those conversations down the road," Rodgers said.
