NFL: Green Bay Packers at Buffalo Bills
(New York, NY) – If Aaron Rodgers does end up in a Jets uniform, it could mean New York’s front office granted his wishes.
ESPN reporter Dianna Russini says the Green Bay Packers QB has provided the Jets with a list of players he’d like to see the team acquire, before agreeing to a trade. Unsurprisingly, Rogers’ list includes a number of pass catchers – and a name very familiar in the Big Apple – free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr.
Rogers wish-list also mentions veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb, tight end Mercedes Lewis, and wide receiver Allen Lazard – all of whom have played with Rogers in Green Bay. Yesterday NFL insider Trey Wingo reported Rogers will be coming to New York, but other outlets have said it’s not a done deal. The future hall of famer needs to agree to any trade.
To date, the Jets have been closely linked to Lazard in free agency. Reports suggest the Jets are one of two potential landing spots for Lewis. Meanwhile, NBC’s Mike Florio has said Beckham Jr. wants to be paid $20 million per season. If the Jets meet Rogers’ demands, a deal could come together quickly.
