Now it’s Aaron Rodgers season
Aaron Rodgers is going into the darkness, and the Jets are hoping he’ll come out with their light.
The biggest story of the NFL offseason is the future of Rodgers, who is scheduled to start a four-day darkness retreat this week with the hopes that isolation will bring him some clarity on his football future.
The Jets have publicly telegraphed their hopes to bring Rodgers, who has spent his entire 18-season pro career in Green Bay, to Florham Park by hiring offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett — whom Rodgers has praised in the past — and saying that they want to add a veteran quarterback. The Post’s Brian Costello confirmed on Sunday that the Jets have had preliminary discussions with the Packers about trading for Rodgers.
Now, there are logistics to consider here, mainly what the Jets would have to give up to trade for Rodgers and that he is owed $59 million in cash in 2023. Rodgers also will be 40 years old next season, brings a lot of baggage off the field and his numbers dipped last season after winning consecutive MVP awards in 2020 and 2021.
