Now that the Jets trade for Aaron Rodgers is reportedly official, the team can focus on more important things, like what number the quarterback is going to wear.
New York has already retired No. 12, the digits that belonged to Hall of Famer Joe Namath, but the legendary quarterback gave Rodgers his blessing to wear it back in January.
“If he’s there, yeah, I want him to wear his number,” Namath said before the trade came to fruition. “We establish ourselves, and we got a real respect for our numbers, and Aaron Rodgers, God almighty yeah, it would be great to have him in New York.”
