Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets is official, according to former NFL quarterback and radio host, Boomer Esiason.

Esiason spoke on WFAN about Trey Wingo breaking the news of the Aaron Rodgers deal being done. Nobody else confirmed the news, and many criticized Wingo for "jumping the gun" in the report.

He then talked about how he reported the news two weeks ago but nobody is giving him any credit for it.

"Trey Wingo has been reporting he's been traded to the Jets, nobody else has confirmed this report. Well, I've been saying it for two weeks and nobody else has confirmed it either. Are you going to say as reported by Boomer two weeks ago?
"I could put it out as a tweet right, but I'd much rather put it out as radio talk show host on the show with you guys. How come when I say something on WEEI it gets blasted all over the place? ... How many times do I have to say it?"

Yesterday, Wingo Tweeted that the Jets to Rodgers deal is done.

Not to be confused by their tweets, but Rodgers to the Jets isn't official quite yet.

According to NFL Insider Andrew Brandt, one thing holding up the trade is his contract. He has an option clause of $58.3 million which can be exercised on March 17th, which would add another year to his contract.

Everyone is wondering what the hold-up is with the Jets-Packers trade.

According to multiple reports, both teams have already agreed to many things, but the ball is in Rodgers' court.

There is a chance he could choose to return to Packers or retire. Either way, the Jets and President Mark Murphy are ready to start Jordan Love.

Murphy told Adriana Torres of WBAY on Friday that the team is confident in Love and they are ready to start him.

“Yeah, we have a lot of confidence in him. We drafted him and developed him. A lot of credit goes to our coaches, and to Jordan. But we do think he’s ready.”
