As free agency begins, Jets left waiting, and hoping, Aaron Rodgers will make up his mind soon

It feels at this point as though it is Jets or bust for Aaron Rodgers, which is, in theory, a victory for the Jets.

After Packers CEO Mark Murphy’s comments this week, which used the past tense in reference to Rodgers in Green Bay, it’s fairly clear he will not be playing home games at Lambeau Field in 2023. And no one else besides the Jets seems to be in serious pursuit of Rodgers. 

That could change, of course, should he spurn the organization. 

As Rodgers decides between the Jets and the unknown at the speed of molasses, though, the Jets are at risk of missing out on every other opportunity that could present itself with the opening of free agency on Monday at noon.
