The #Jets and Aaron Rodgers did speak yesterday, per sources, as @wingoz said.
Rodgers still hasn’t made a decision about his future yet though.

This indeed happened.
All still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to decide what he wants, but it sure seems like it involves playing in 2023. https://t.co/Ml1JmQPQBc

Per the reports, nothing is imminent but Rodgers does seem open to playing in New York.
The Jets seem to be starting their push for Rodgers now that Derek Carr is off the board, having reached an agreement with the New Orleans Saints. The latest reports on Rodgers indicate that the Packers gave the Jets permission to speak with him, because that would otherwise be tampering.
The Jets’ lovefest for Rodgers is the NFL’s worst-kept secret. They even told Carr they were waiting for Rodgers. They’re now really starting to act on those feelings.
