The New York Jets are officially in the market for a new starting quarterback.
Zach Wilson’s two-year tenure ‘leading’ the offense has not gone as planned, and the team has proven to be ready and deserving of something much better.
So, the team has been linked to Aaron Rodgers for the past couple of weeks, as the four-time MVP is reportedly weighing in on his future.
Rodgers would be a huge step up for this team, which is on the rise, so Jets fans would gladly do whatever it takes to make it happen.
That’s why ESPN’s Mike Greenberg said he’d do a darkness retreat himself if the Jets were able to sign Rodgers:
“In my effort to try and do everything I can to speak this into existence (…), I made the declaration that if Aaron Rodgers signs with the Jets, I will do the darkness retreat,” Greenberg said on ESPN’s Get Up. “I’m going to Oregon or everywhere else where they may have these darkness retreats, and I’ll do it. I’ll go into the dark for three days or whatever it takes ’cause I’ve been in the darkness for 15 years with this franchise. I’ll do anything I can.”
Well, that says a lot about how hard things have been for this franchise over the past 20 years.

Also, technically, he could be okay and not do this at all, since the Jets wouldn’t SIGN Rodgers, they would trade for him.
Some analysts and fans think it would be better for the Jets to sign Derek Carr as a free agent instead. To get the former Super Bowl champion, the Jets will probably have to give up multiple draught picks and some young players.
Whatever the case, desperate times call for desperate measures, and Jets fans have been through a lot lately, so who could blame him for making this promise?
