It's been close to a month since Rodgers announced his plans to end his 18-year tenure in Green Bay, but no official move has been made, putting some Jets fans into a slight panic.
Jets general manager Joe Douglas reminded fans to keep calm, because, he said, Rodgers will be wearing Jet green.

"He's gonna be here," replied Douglas.
