This is an IHeart podcast.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

Maybe today is the day.

We've been held hostage by Aaron Rogers for quite some time now.

Imagine covering the jets on a daily basis.

Rich Samini has been doing that for a long time.

ESPN NFL Nation reporter joins us on the program. How's morale, Rich?

Dan, I have not been out of my house in literally a week except to go out to get the mail

and come back in. That's been it. So yes, I've been held hostage by this. What do you expect

to happen today? I don't expect him to go on the air at 1 o'clock Eastern and say, I've been traded to the Jets for this, this and this.

And there's still a lot of work to be done. I would be, I think there's a chance he may go out there and say,

I'm going to play football this year, which he has not said publicly to this point, and I would like to play for the Jets. I think there's a chance he might say that, but he's not going to announce a final trade. What do you make of the wish list by Rogers? I think that, I mean, it's a legitimate story. I think it's been overblown a little bit. I don't think he said, here's a list of demands. I have to have these guys to play for the Jets. I think when the Jets were out there in Southern California last week, they had a discussion on some players that he wouldn't mind playing with if he came to the Jets. And I think so. It's more of a collaborative thing. And Alan Lazzard, who I believe

they're going to sign, is he's a legitimate player. I mean, even if they don't get Rogers,

he's a legitimate ad to the roster. But then you throw in Randall Cobb and Mercedes-Lewis.

I didn't know Mercedes-Lewis was still in the league, but do you think that what's the likelihood that they

signed those two guys? That I think would be overkill. I mean, Mercedes-Lewis is 38 years old.

I guess he's a good blocking tight end. Tight-end is actually one of the Jets better positions.

I don't think they need a tight end. Randall Cobb, 32.

Could he be a backup slot receiver and play 10 snaps a game?

Yeah, I guess he could, but that's usually a spot for a younger guy.

So I think those might be stretching the limits a little bit.

And as for O'Dell Beckham, I think at this point, that would be a luxury for the Jets.
