?Holding The Jets Hostage Already?: Aaron Rodgers? Audacious Demand From Jets Makes Fans Question The Deal

The New York Jets are desperate for A-Rod on their team, and the man sure knows it. The in-demand QB has presented the Jets with a wish list of players he wants to bring along if he is to join the team. The four-time NFL MVP has been subject to rising curiosities among the fans about which team he will join next. And it seems he is leveraging his popularity for a chance to play with his best friends. What’s even more surprising is the fact that the Jets seem to be giving in to the demands.?

Who’s on the wishlist?

According to ESPN, Rodgers wants wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb, and Marcedes Lewis on the tight end. All four of them are currently operating as free agents. Rodgers has played alongside Lazard, Cobb, and Lewis during his time with the Greenbay Packers. And while he hasn’t played with Beckham yet, the two are good friends. He has, in the past, also expressed interest in playing alongside Beckham at some point.

The Jets are eager to please. Lazard has already agreed to a four-year contract of $44 million with the New York team. And they are apparently also pursuing the other two free agents. While it is not clear if they’re going to pursue Beckham too, reps were present at his open practice. Meanwhile, Rodgers has still not settled on what team to join or to retire.

Fans React to the Aaron Rodgers demands

Rodgers’ demands have thrown fans into a tizzy. Fans took to Twitter to react to the news. And the results are absolutely hilarious. Tweets accusing Rodgers of holding the Jets hostage, and expressing sympathy for the team have surfaced online.

Twitter users were also quick to point to the similarities between LeBron James and the QB:

Twitterati were quick to mock Rodgers for his audaciousness, while also comparing him to a child asking to be teamed with his best mates, and the memes that have emerged are a goldmine:

While the reactions have been quite entertaining, all this still remains unconfirmed. Fans can look forward to getting some concrete answers at Rodgers appearance on the Pat McAfee show later in the day. He is expected to reveal where he’ll be landing next and will hopefully clear up if all the rumors are true.

What do you think about these reactions? Are they overblown or are the Jets getting a fair trade?
