NEW YORK — On Tuesday, Jets brass flew out to California to meet with Aaron Rodgers after receiving permission from the Packers to talk to the star quarterback. Jets owner Woody Johnson, general manager Joe Douglas, coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett traveled to the west coast with the hopes of acquiring the former four-time MVP.
Now it appears Gang Green is closer to landing the 39-year-old quarterback.
The Jets are “optimistic” that they will land Rodgers in a trade, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
