Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas responded to a critical tweet as the NFL world awaits Aaron Rodgers’ decision on whether he will play in 2023 and whether his team will trade him to the New York Jets.
As Jets players like Willow Gardner and Breece Hall were publicly calling on the Jets to bring Rodgers to East Rutherford, New Jersey, Spectrum News 1 host Gary Ellerson wondered why Packers players weren’t they were doing the same.

«I just think about all these Jets players asking 12 to join them in New York on social media. Why aren’t 12 teammates asking him to stay here?» Ellerson tweeted on Saturday.
Douglas responded Sunday, saying they don’t need to make a public statement on social media because they have his personal number and can do their job behind the scenes.
“Because we have your number. In fact, we can text you instead of writing it on social media,” Douglas wrote. «As our leader, he knows how each person on the list feels about him.»

Time is running out for Rodgers to make a decision.

Rodgers was at a soccer charity event in California when he ran into Brandon Marshall, the former NFL star wide receiver and host of the «I AM ATHLETE» podcast, and gave a little background on when he’ll make his decision.
«Stay tuned,» the four-time NFL MVP told Marshall.
Asked how long everyone in the NFL will have to wait, Rodgers replied: «Well, I guess it won’t be long. There’s a time limit on all of this.»
«It’s always interesting to meet important figures in the sport. That’s all I give you. Stay tuned.»

SNY noted Saturday that a deal between the two parties was «essentially done» and comes down to whether Rodgers wants to be in New York. The NFL Network’s later added framework is yet to be determined.
