Derek Carr was in New York to meet with the Jets hierarchy in a bid to look for a new team. The former Las Vegas Raiders QB is a free agent, and the Jets are looking at the possibility of signing him. According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Carr had a very positive meeting in New York.
But the Jets shifting from Aaron Rodgers to Carr is testing the patience of the Jets fan base. Many fans think that the Jets are using Carr as a leverage point in their negotiations with the Green Bay Packers. Here are some fan reactions.

The darkness retreat by Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is going on a four-day darkness retreat where he will sit with his thoughts in complete darkness and isolation. While he answered some of the questions during his recent appearance on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’, the biggest question is about his NFL future. It has become almost clear that he may not return to Green Bay next season to play for the Packers. But will he play in the league and if yes, then where? According to Rodgers, his darkness retreat will help him answer those questions.
But the face of the Packers franchise may lose out on valuable time due to this retreat. The Jets were frontrunners to sign him in case he moves away from Lambeau Field. But their latest move for Derek Carr may mean that they are in a hurry and might not wait for Rodgers. And the fans too are waiting eagerly for Rodgers’ decision.
