The New York Jets are inching closer to a blockbuster deal for four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers - but tight end C.J. Uzomah kept his cards close to his chest amid the news.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, Jets owner Woody Johnson - who is keen on securing a high-profile quarterback for the 2023 season - met with the Green Bay Packers quarterback in California this week. There was optimism about completing a deal with Rodgers ahead of the meeting, but the Jets front office are reportedly confident after the encouraging sit down between the two parties.
On Tuesday, Johnson, general manager Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett flew to Rodgers’ native California to gauge his interest. The 39-year-old is yet to make a decision over his future after emerging from a highly-publicised four-day darkness retreat in Oregon.
