The New York Jets have been a commonly discussed team throughout the NFL offseason, given the saga with Aaron Rodgers.
Now that he is officially on the team, fans of the Jets and Green Bay Packers can move on.
After the trade was finalized, Rex Ryan appeared on Get Up, detailing his excitement about the team’s newest addition.

Ryan believes that by adding Rodgers, the Jets’ Super Bowl window has now opened.
After these bold comments, which included Ryan bringing out his father’s Super Bowl ring, many fans responded accordingly.
Gotta love Rex. He is giddy at this trade.

Despite Ryan’s initial excitement, however, not all NFL fans were impressed with this take.

As this Miami Dolphins fan expresses, this take might not age well for Ryan and the Jets.
While Rodgers has been an impactful NFL player for nearly 20 years, the Jets have encountered a 12-year playoff drought.
Will his presence be enough to lead this team to victory?
Fans across the league are torn about Rodgers’ new team, as they are unsure about the upcoming season.
With the NFL Draft just around the corner, and many other factors yet to play out, the Jets still have a few months to add to their roster, hoping to compete for a deep playoff run.
