Adam Schefter’s revelation has sent shockwaves through the NFL community as it puts the Jets in a time-sensitive situation. As time ticks towards this “soft deadline,” all eyes are on Jet’s front office as they weigh their options and negotiate with the Packers. The outcome of this potential trade will not only impact both teams but will also affect other teams throughout NFL.

If picks 42 and 43 come and go without Rodgers being traded to them, then their wait for him could be prolonged indefinitely – as pointed out by Schefter himself in an interview. Schefter said, “The Jets want the quarterback. They both have a lot at stake and if they get past Friday night without a deal, this trade could linger well into the summer. Friday night is a soft deadline.

This has raised the stakes for the Jets who have been considered front-runners in this potential trade but now face losing out on Rodgers to other interested teams who are also rumored to be in contention.

According to WFAN’s Tiki Barber, there is validity to the rumors of the 49ers’ interest in Rodgers. Barber suggested that if the 49ers move on from their former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance, due to concerns over Brock Purdy’s availability following UCL surgery, they could make a bold move for Rodgers. Barber said, “This team will go get Aaron Rodgers if he’s available, and the Jets, the premise that we started this with, will be stuck sitting out in the cold with their underwear on, and that’s it.
