The New York Jets have sparked the thunders with their latest move. The franchise has begun its mentorship development and has a new face. The high-profile hire fueled speculation about Aaron Rodgers’ future with the Green Bay Packers. The NFL fandom is also up in arms and speaking out over the possibility of having A-Rod in New York.
The Jets recently hired Nathaniel Hackett as the franchise’s offensive coordinator. He is the former head coach of the Denver Broncos. The franchise severely failed to make a statement, with veteran Russell Wilson holding down the fort. Hackett’s arrival in New York as an offensive coordinator sparked new speculation about the Jets’ pursuit of a veteran quarterback.

After the revelation, NFL fans are content that New York would have Aaron Rodgers as a Jet soon.

Another user said the addition of A-Rod would make sense.
Aaron Rodgers makes the most sense now

Moreover, this user said if Rodgers does not come up, the Hackett Hiring would go to waste.

This user would also prefer Rodgers.
Might as well just say Aaron Rodgers
— Zach R (@zackorizzi) January 27, 2023
But this user has doubts over the Rodgers to Jets speculations.
I doubt Rodgers thinks the Jets are a legit SB team in 2023. He already said its pointless to come back if you can't really win it all.

However, this user seems confident.
Arod soon
— Pops (@CadexIvey) January 27, 2023
This user has three options in mind, and Rodgers is not off the page.
Rodgers, Brady, or Carr. No doubt

The Rodgers to Jets speculation has had a new development that could lead to the notion happening for real.
Packers could trade Aaron Rodgers exclusively to AFC
Aaron Rodgers gave numerous indications that this was his final season in Green Bay. The quarterback has not stated where he will play next, but he is open to playing for a different organization. The Packers are also thinking about not trading A-Rod within the same conference, which would place him in the AFC.
More context: Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract. The #Packers don't need his direct permission to trade him, at least not contractually.

In an appearance on SportsCenter, Adam Schefter posited that the Packers’ front office might consider trading Rodgers to the AFC. Besides, since the quarterback’s agreement is without a no-trade clause, the franchise is under no legal obligation to pursue the quarterback’s approval.
It is yet to see how the scenario will play out.
