Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath said the New York Jets can unretire his No. 12 if they acquire Aaron Rodgers.
“I hope it can come true, but it’s farfetched,” Namath said on WFAN’s “Tiki And Tierney” show. “I know (Jets owner) Mr. Johnson is trying to get a quarterback, and if there’s a way he can get Rodgers…I’m a big Rodgers fan, and I noticed that he wears number 12, of course. I’m thinking, well, man, if we get him on our side, is he still going to be wearing number 12? Because the number was retired many years ago.”
