“I had a trip out to Nashville to see Randall Cobb and my godson for his birthday. And I got to run into the Bakhtiari clan, so I got to see Dave, he looks happy. I’ll admit he’s definitely put on some lbs in his recreation time. He assures me that they’ll come off pretty quickly, but he looks a little bloated right now. He says it’s some of the baby weight that’s just coming off now. Great to see him and his brothers and his sister and his brother-in-law. Every time you go to a Bakhtiari event, you know it’s gonna be a good time,” Rodgers told Pat McAfee.

Rodgers is still undecided on his future in the NFL and the Packers. And the Jets are rumored to be after him if he does decide to move away from Green Bay. And they already have an icebreaker deal to make it more enticing for the iconic QB.

The Jets’ icebreaker deal 

The Jets are going all out to get Aaron Rodgers to New York next season. And they made it more enticing for the QB by hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator. Hackett worked with Rodgers as OC at Green Bay before taking up the head coach job at the Denver Broncos. And he brought the best out of the back-to-back NFL MVP. Along with this, the Jets are reportedly sending an offer to the Packers.
