The Jets have a QB hole. Trading for the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and pairing him with Nathaniel Hackett fixes it.

It’s all just another beautiful Aaron Rodgers mystery, these stars that are aligning between the Green Bay Packers quarterback and the extremely quarterback-needy New York Jets.

To hear Jets head coach Robert Saleh tell it, there’s nothing to it. Hiring Nathaniel Hackett, the ousted Denver Broncos head coach who previously served three years as Rodgers’ offensive coordinator in Green Bay? Just a coincidence. Never mind that fixing the quarterback position is the Jets' top priority. Or that ownership and the front office believe that a Super Bowl window opens next season if the right quarterback is plugged into the middle of the offense.
