The Jets on a QB pursuit 

Aaron Rodgers has already revealed his intention to play for the Jets next season. The franchise wants him too, to make a statement of intent to their fans. They haven’t been much of a competitor in recent years. And they see signing a future Hall of Famer as a stop-gap solution for short-term success. The Packers are apparently moving on with Jordan Love as their future. So, what is it that is holding up the deal?

The Packers want a hefty compensation to part ways with their legendary QB. According to reports, the Packers want a first-round draft pick along with the other specifics of the deal. So, both franchises are at an impasse.

But then, Rodgers isn’t the only reason Lazard joined the Jets. Nathaniel Hackett is there too. So, what does it all point towards? When will this saga come to its conclusion?
