The New York Jets have touched base with the Green Bay Packers once again as they look to complete the trade of Aaron Rodgers 'this week'.
That's according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, who's claimed that the Jets and the Packers have re-opened talks surrounding Rodgers after movement went stale over the past few weeks. Rodgers expressed his desire to play for the Jets back in March, but remains a Packers player as the NFL Draft approaches.
Rapoport says that the two teams are actively engaging in talks, although a deal isn't imminent at this moment in time. There's hope that a final deal can be agreed this week, allowing full focus to be shared on the NFL Draft that begins on Thursday and any terms finally thrashed out likely to involve selections in this year's process.
