Aaron Rodgers is still a member of the Green Bay Packers but New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh isn’t pressing the "panic button" just yet. 

It’s been nearly two weeks since the four-time NFL MVP revealed that his intentions are to play for the Jets next season, but no deal has been reached between the two teams. Saleh told reporters on the second day of the Annual League Meeting that he’s positive "things are going to work out."

"Honestly, I’m not hitting the panic button," Saleh said. "I worry about the things I have control over. This is something I have zero control over so I’m just going to focus my energy on the things that I do. And it is what it is."

He continued: "I’m confident. I think that things are going to work out. You guys know me, I’m a very positive person and optimistic so I’m confident that things will go the way we were hoping. But at the same time, it’s not going to eat at me."

Saleh was careful with his choice of words with Rodgers still being a member of the Packers, but added that the attention New York has been getting from players around the league, not just Rodgers, is a testament to what the Jets have and could potentially achieve.
