The New York Jets are putting on a full-court press for Aaron Rodgers
Throughout Wednesday – the day following Aaron Rodgers’ Tuesday meeting with the New York Jets in California – it has felt as if the entire Jets organization is joining in on the effort to bring Rodgers to New York. Countless players are taking to social media with their pitches for the four-time MVP to don a different shade of green.
Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, Tyler Conklin, Will Parks, and Justin Hardee have all joined in on the Wednesday recruitment charge, each of them tagging Rodgers in a tweet that pitches him on joining the Jets.
Williams built his pitch around Rodgers’ off-field interests. “I know some amazing golf courses in New Jersey and NYC that you can golf at all season”, Williams tweeted.

Hardee’s pitch was centered around dreams of a parade down the Canyon of Heroes. “Yo [Rodgers] let’s go get that ring bro bring New York City what it’s been waiting for!! It’ll be special”, Hardee tweeted.

Parks took a more blunt approach. “Ayo Aaron bring that ass over here,” Parks opened. “You know what it is with us. Thanks in advance brother. We appreciate it.”

Conklin, who would be catching passes from Rodgers, made sure to let him know how much he’d help the Jets’ offense. “Bringing a Super Bowl to NY would be legendary. You take everyone on this offense to the next level. Let’s get it done. From the darkness to NY. See you soon.”

Even Robert Saleh’s brother, David, put out a tweet that advised Rodgers of the joy of playing for the Jets’ fanbase, writing, “[Rodgers]….. There is nothing sweeter than hearing the fans chant J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!”.

Sauce Gardner is living up to his promise of burning his cheesehead to bring Rodgers to New York. He tweeted a picture of a fire globe he purchased alongside a picture of himself holding the cheesehead, hinting that he is indeed going to burn the famous piece of headgear to try and lure Rodgers to the Big Apple.

Gardner also teased that he will tell Jets fans about Rodgers on his YouTube channel on Friday.

C.J. Uzomah spoke about the idea of playing with Rodgers on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, saying, “In terms of Aaron, you catch touchdown passes from a future Hall of Famer, you wouldn’t be upset about that.”

Ironically enough, Uzomah’s appearance on NFL Network came on the same day the Jets restructured his contract to clear $3.6 million in cap space – which could conceivably be used on Rodgers.
It’s clear that the Jets want Rodgers. Does Rodgers want the Jets?
