I feel like the Packers are in no mood to rush this. It is clear that the Jets will not give up the #1 this year, so there is virtually no reason for Green Bay to seek a rapid conclusion to this deal. The longer this goes, the more leverage Green Bay will have. The Jets appear to have no plan B other than throwing Z Wilson back out under center, and that would go over like a lead balloon in the NY media market. The Jets simply have to land Rodgers at this point, and while they don’t need him until August, the pressure will only mount on the Jets as more time passes.

I think the sides are fairly close on a deal, but nothing will spur it to completion at this point unless one side gives a little. I’m not thinking that will happen until well after the draft at this point.
