If Aaron Rodgers is going to play for the New York Jets, he wants to do it his own way, and with some of his friends. Rodgers has given the Jets a 'Wish List' of players he wants the team to target and/or sign, because of course he has. The list includes former teammates Allen Lazard, Marcedes Lewis, best friend Randall Cobb, and Odell Beckham Jr.
One of them is already checked off the list - Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with New York on Tuesday. The rest? Unsure, although the Jets did attend an open workout that OBJ held in Arizona late last week.
The Jets also have Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, and Denzel Mims in their wide receiver room. Not bad. So why does Rodgers want all these older guys in the room, unless he's on a complete power trip? He's already holding two teams hostage during the peak of free agency - the Jets and the team that is hoping to trade him, the Green Bay Packers. Neither can do much until there's a resolution. Hopefully one is coming soon, as Rodgers is scheduled to appear on his friend, Pat McAfee's show on Wednesday at 1pm. more QB news:

The New York Jets met with Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday - flying in the G5, G5 to California to meet with him. The team's brass is set to fly back to New Jersey on Wednesday, with thoughts of Rodgers running through their heads. This is probably going to be a long-ish process, as Rodgers likes to take his time, but it's clear he's the Jets' top target.
And yes, the Rodgers to NYJ talk has led to an increase of folks betting on the Jets to win next year's Super Bowl.

The New York Giants and Daniel Jones' agent have been working hard at hammering out a new deal for the QB, including meeting in Indianapolis. With Tuesday's franchise tag deadline looming, both sides hope they will get something done before then but are willing to tag him if they can't reach an agreement.
A new report came out on Friday that Jones is asking for more then $45 million per year. This report makes it seem more likely that the Giants will stick the tag on Jones before the deadline. An update suggested on Friday that the team and Jones are progressing in contract talks, and still hope to get a deal done by the deadline. An update late Saturday night stated that Jones' agents left Indianapolis with no deal in sight. As the clock ticks, Monday and Tuesday will be key for the Giants and Jones' team to work something out.

Kentucky QB Will Levis will also throw at the Combine.

Derek Carr was released by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week and has already visited the New Orleans Saints. This weekend, he saw the New York Jets. The Jets are an ideal spot for a free-agent quarterback; with a great coaching staff and a slew of young weapons on offense, it should be an appealing job.
Carr was seen dining with head coach Robert Saleh and Nathaniel Hackett at a New Jersey restaurant over the weekend.

The New York Jets hired Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator on Thursday, sparking questions about whether Aaron Rodgers will come with the deal.

While he still has to make a firm decision on his future in the NFL, a trade is still on the table for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

A couple of intriguing teams are the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets, both of whom are expected to move on from their current starters.
