Aaron Rodgers has promised to give the Green Bay Packers (and by extension, the New York Jets) a decision before the start of free agency. Now he has just hours left to deliver on that promise.
Although the NFL’s new league year does not begin until 4:00 PM Eastern on Wednesday, Monday brings the start of negotiations between teams and agents. The so-called “legal tampering” period kicks off at 12 Noon today, and it is at that time that teams begin making their initial overtures and contract offers to free agents-to-be across the league.
With no answer from Rodgers, the Packers and Jets remain in limbo as other teams gear up to get a head start on the market.
