Nearly a day doesn’t go by without a New York Jets or Green Bay Packers official commenting on Aaron Rodgers.

The quarterback indicated he wants to play for the Jets. The Jets indicated they wanted Rodgers and the Packers, in turn, have already said they plan for the future without the quarterback.

But trade negotiations drag on.

Jets owner Johnson is “optimistic “

At the annual meeting of NFL team owners, Jets owner Woody Johnson now also commented on personnel. “We’re a little concerned,” he said. “But we’re also optimistic. We have a plan, we’re going to stick with it. “

However, he is not overly nervous about the tough negotiations surrounding the 39-year-old. “I don’t think anyone at our club is hyperventilating all of a sudden,” he laughed.

In the end, anticipation prevails for the 75-year-old. “We’re just thrilled that a player of such calibre wants to play for us,” Johnson explained.

Packers and Jets may be closing in on each other

Pundits are speculating that the Jets have no intention of parting with their first-round pick in the upcoming draft. The Packers, however, have reportedly demanded it.

Lastly, however, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke of how compensation for the future Hall of Fame quarterback doesn’t necessarily have to include a first-round pick.

In theory, the Rodgers trade could drag on for months. The Packers and Jets start their mandatory training camps in early August.
