Jets general manager Joe Douglas spoke to reporters on Tuesday ahead of this week’s NFL draft.
However, as expected, much of the focus of the press conference was not on the draft. Instead, it was all about New York’s acquisition of future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was traded to the Jets on Monday from the Packers.
The Jets are in “win now” mode with Rodgers at quarterback, which means former No. 2 pick Zach Wilson will be serving as Rodgers’s backup for the foreseeable future. Despite shelving a former top prospect, Jets general manager sees it only as a positive for Wilson and the franchise long-term.
