Is it finally happening?
The New York Jets may be on the verge of a franchise-altering move, with ESPN's Dianna Russini reporting that the team is optimistic about acquiring Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
In the wake of an extensive in-person meeting between Aaron Rodgers & New York Jets brass, including owner Woody Johnson, there's optimism in the Jets’ organization that they are on the brink of landing the future Hall of Fame QB, sources close to the situation tell ESPN.

"Optimism in the Jets' organization that they are on the brink of landing the future Hall of Fame QB."
Jets officials, including owner Woody Johnson, traveled to California to meet with Rodgers earlier this week, with Johnson reportedly leaving the meeting "excited and satisfied" about the potential match.
Talks about compensation and contract reportedly began before the meeting and are ongoing, but it is widely believed that the Jets will not have to part with a first-round pick to acquire Rodgers.
As the Jets internally are working under an optimism that this will happen, the Jets and the Packers remain engaged in conversations about compensation and contract, sources said. Those conversation already started before the meeting.

If the deal goes through, it would mark the end of the Zach Wilson era in New York and signal the beginning of the Jordan Love era in Green Bay.
