NFL legend open to unretiring his number if Aaron Rodgers joins New York Jets

Aaron Rodgers could land his iconic no.12 jersey if he the joins New York Jets, with NFL legend Joe Namath willing to unretire his number if the Green Bay Packers quarterback trades.

Rodgers has been heavily linked with a move to the Jets recently despite still having two years left on his deal with the Packers, but NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports it is a "real possibility". According to Peter King, the Packers would want two first-round picks for Rodgers, but that hasn't deterred their interest.

There was one problem, as Namath famously wore the no.12 while at the Jets, and his jersey was initially retired. But in an attempt to see Rodgers sign for his former team, he's happy to bring it out of retirement for the Super Bowl winner to wear.
