Aaron Rodgers has yet to make a decision on what he wants to do for the 2023 season and beyond.
The signs seemed to point to Rodgers being traded to the New York Jets from the Green Bay Packers in a deal that would change the landscape for both franchises. While Caesars Sportsbook’s Trey Wingo tweeted Monday that the deal was «done» and SNY reported Saturday that the deal was «essentially done,» other NFL journalists have said nothing has happened so far.

An ESPN report noted before the start of the «legal tampering» period that the Jets and Packers don’t know what Rodgers will do. Another report added that the Jets are «cautiously optimistic» that the four-time NFL MVP will agree to a trade with the AFC East team that hasn’t won an NFL playoff game since the 2010 season.
As the NFL world awaits Rodgers’ decision, some fans have expressed frustration with their wait.
Rodgers told former NFL star Brandon Marshall, co-host of the «I AM ATHLETE» podcast, that his decision would be made soon and that he «was keeping an eye on it.»

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.»
Rodgers said after the Packers lost to the Detroit Lions in Week 18 that he would not hold the franchise hostage while he made his decision.
«I’m not going to take them hostage,» he said. «I understand we’re still in January, March is free agency. I just need some time, like I said, to get the emotion out and figure out what’s best.»

Since then, Rodgers has retreated into obscurity and neither the Jets nor the Packers made surprising news when the «legal tampering» period opened.
