As Aaron Rodgers takes the time to decide whether, and where, he wants to play next season, the Jets have been rumored to be at the top of the list among interested teams. New York is in the market for a quarterback and coming off a season where they had both rookies of the year.
However, even if Rodgers is available, one former Jet thinks the team should pass. Retired wide receiver Brandon Marshall thinks Rodgers is a bad fit in New York. Instead, he believes the team should trade for Derek Carr.
“It’s his age, but also the fit in the locker room,” Marshall said about Rodgers, via the New York Post’s Brian Costello. “Guys are definitely going to respect him, but I just feel like Derek Carr can get you there. Derek Carr is the first one in, last one out. Derek Carr, he meets people where they’re at. The chemistry and continuity is everything. Remember, we tried this before with Brett Favre. We did this, Woody. We did it. We tried this before with Brett Favre. Derek Carr, that’s all we need. We don’t need the best quarterback. We need the right quarterback.”
