Not a chance. There's not a lot of urgency to complete the trade in a timely fashion since the Jets know they have the Packers over a barrel since Rodgers publicly announced his intention to join the Jets and Rodgers will probably just retire if the Jets won't accept whatever deal the Packers throw at them. The Jets reported wish to give the Packers picks in next year's draft, not this year's is also likely behind the delay.

On top of that, Jordan Love is in the 2nd to last year of his rookie contract. Now is the time to see what the kid is made of.

Apparently, we're going to finally get a yearly game on Thanksgiving weekend hosted exclusively by an AFC team. The Bengals want to make the Black Friday game, added for this season, a yearly tradition. I guess if Detroit can have a Thanksgiving game every year, giving Cincinnati a yearly game the next day isn't too farfetched.
