The New York Jets are at a standstill with the Green Bay Packers over a trade involving Aaron Rodgers, and while one report on Wednesday signaled that owner Woody Johnson wasn’t on board with the terms of a potential deal involving high draft picks, another report revealed that two sides haven’t spoken in weeks.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on "NFL Live" that the Jets and Packers haven’t spoken since the NFL Owners’ Annual League Meeting in Phoenix last month, which came just over a week after Rodgers had publicly announced his intentions to play for New York next season.

"My understanding is there hasn’t been a whole lot of conversation, if any, over the last couple of weeks going back to the owners meetings," Schefter said.

"And so both sides now appear to be dug in, and we’ll see whether or not anything changes as we head up to the draft."
ESPN’s Mike Greenberg also reported Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that Rodgers has signaled to the Jets not to "rush" on making a deal.
"I’ve heard that Aaron has sent signals to the Jets that there’s no reason for them to rush, that he’s not coming until May anyway. So they’re not missing out on anything right now. So they should hold out as long as it takes and that ultimately they won’t wind up having to trade the 13th pick in the draft, which is what I think this ultimately comes down to."
