One fan even questioned if the 39-year-old signal-caller was tampering when talking to the Jets:Markus Movrich@MarkusMovrich@jasonjwilde @MarkTauscher65 So…. Rodgers is under contract with the Packers but he’s meeting with the Jets? Isn’t that tampering? What am I missing here???@jasonjwilde @MarkTauscher65 So….

Given them stepping out of the Derek Carr sweepstakes, I assume they believe they can get a deal done. Does this put Garrett Wilson in top-5 WR land?#JetsTwitter @IBT_Media31Not unexpectedly, Aaron Rodgers has received permission to speak to the Jets about a potential trade.

The three-time NFL MVP threw for 3,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 22 interceptions. His 22 interceptions led the league that season. Aaron Rodgers moving on from the Packers does make the Jets a realistic destination.Will Aaron Rodgers follow in Favre's career footsteps to the Jets?If Rodgers wants to play in the 2023 season, it seems like the Jets would be the best fit for him should he not play for the Packers. The team hired Rodgers' former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett for the same position this offseason. Many fans saw this as a ploy to lure the Super Bowl XLV MVP to the franchise.Another reason why this trade could happen is because Green Bay wants to see what they have in Jordan Love. They drafted Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft as Rodgers' replacement.In the 2005 draft, the Packers did the same thing in selecting Rodgers to succeed Favre as the team's starting quarterback. Love has sat behind Rodgers for two seasons while Rodgers sat behind Favre for three seasons.We will see if Aaron Rodgers wears another green jersey this offseason and the Jordan Love era starts in Green Bay.
