Days pass and Aaron Rodgers is still not a member of the New York Jets. The general manager of the Big Apple team, however, was reassuring: the star quarterback will not start the campaign with the Green Bay Packers.

At an event hosted by Audacy station WFAN Sports Radio on Friday, Joe Douglas was asked about Rodgers’ potential arrival in New York.
“He will be there,” simply replied the DG, eliciting a strong reaction from the New York crowd.
The rumors escalated last week when wide receiver Allen Lazard posted photos on his Instagram of him training with Rodgers.
In addition, the Jets agreed to a one-year pact with center Tim Boyle, who served as the 39-year-old’s backup for three seasons in Green Bay.
Douglas and his counterpart Brian Gutenkunst have been negotiating for several months the terms of a transaction to grant the wish of Rodgers, who has made it clear that he intends to continue his career in New York.
The Packers GM recently assured that he did not demand to receive the Jets’ first-round pick, 13th overall in the next draft, in return for the services of number 12.
The four-time NFL MVP recipient completed 64.6% of his passes for 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2022.
