With Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers nearing a decision on the future of his career, oddsmakers are bullish on the idea of him joining the New York Jets.
With reports circulating that Rodgers is discussing a possible trade to the Jets, BetMGM has New York’s Super Bowl odds skyrocketing from +2500 to +1800 based on conversations alone.
It’s one thing to change the lines on conjecture, but it’s another thing entirely to bump New York’s title odds like this without a move being confirmed. That’s the power of Rodgers, we suppose.
While it remains to be seen how this will exactly unfold, it seems like Rodgers heading to the Big Apple has more steam now than it ever has.

Rodgers could just as easily decide to retire as he could get cold feet and stay with the Packers.
However, it’s intriguing to think about what might happen if the longtime Green Bay quarterback really takes the plunge and requests a trade to a new team like the Jets. You know the odds in Vegas would spike the second that move was made.
