New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner is taking his recruitment of Aaron Rodgers seriously.
As rumors swirl that the four-time MVP is contemplating a trade to New York for his 19th NFL season, members of the Jets have stepped up their recruitment.
On Tuesday, Gardner took to Twitter to pitch Rodgers on joining him in New York, saying he would destroy one of his most coveted possessions if he made the move.
“Aye [Aaron Rodgers] I promise if you become a Jet, I won’t pick you off in practice & I’ll burn the cheesehead,” Gardner tweeted.

“I need you to lock in. I need you to come here so we can win a Super Bowl,” Gardner added.
Rodgers and members of the Jets organization reportedly met earlier in the week, with owner Woody Johnson feeling “excited and satisfied” about the prospect of acquiring Rodgers in a trade with the Packers following their meeting.
Rodgers has made it clear throughout the offseason that he is undecided on what comes next, whether he will return to Green Bay for his 19th season, ask for a trade, or retire as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game.
The Packers have stated they hope for a decision from Rodgers by the start of free agency, which will kick off on March 15.
