The New York Jets have officially found their new quarterback.
It has been a long offseason of negotiations between the Green Bay Packers and Jets but a deal is finally done.
Rodgers starts his new journey with the Jets, and the expectations for him are sky-high.
He is coming to New York to lead the Jets to a Super Bowl.
The Jets held an introductory press conference for Rodgers on Wednesday.
He had a few quotes in there that should get Jets fans excited.
According to Ian Rapoport, Rodgers talked about winning in New York and adding another trophy.
New #Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, in his press conference live on @NFLNetwork:
— “I noticed walking in here that SB III trophy is lookin a lonely.”
— “I really believe that this is where I’m supposed to be.”
— “I’m an old guy, so I want to be a part of a team that can win at all.”— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 26, 2023
The four-time MVP will turn 40 years old in December, but he thinks he can play at an MVP level still.
The Jets will need the very best from Rodgers to be able to compete for a Super Bowl.
Playing in the AFC East will be no easy task, and neither is playing in the AFC.
Rodgers will have to get familiar with the conference and the teams he needs to consistently beat.
The New York media will be tough on Rodgers if he does not perform.
But, scrutiny is nothing new to him as he has been dealing with it his whole career.
Rodgers did not have his typical MVP-caliber season last year.
But, he was also battling a multitude of injuries.
It will be weird seeing Rodgers in a Jets uniform, but this is where he wanted to play.
Now he needs to help lead the Jets back to the Super Bowl.
