Aaron Rodgers wasn’t ready for his Jets divorce.
Concerned that his career could end with a whimper, Rodgers, 41, aggressively urged the Jets to stick with him for another season or two over the course of multiple conversations last week, a well-placed source told The Post.
When the Jets decided to move on anyway, Rodgers accepted his fate “like a man going to the gallows,” the source said, and slipped into the darkness for a few days.
The writing already was on the wall by the time Rodgers, who was in New Jersey for an unrelated reason, was asked to come to the team’s Florham Park facility for his first face-to-face meeting with the newly hired regime of general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn.
