Aaron Rodgers’ recent generosity with the New York Jets has been noted by many fans and analysts.
It’s an unprecedented act by him, especially given the state of public opinion of Rodgers when he left the Green Bay Packers.
Rich Eisen has recently lauded Rodgers’ decision on his show.
He may not have played any games yet but after giving up nearly $35M, and defending his favorite coach, the @AaronRodgers12 New York Experience is a 10/10 thus far:#NFL #NFLTrainingCamp #TakeFlight pic.twitter.com/5mhlvZ7wv8

Eisen is a noted Jets fan, and his excitement is shared among many other fans.
This clip, effectively, demonstrates his appreciation for both Rodgers and the organization, and their willingness to work together to achieve a common goal.
The fact that Rodgers is willing to take a large pay cut indicates that he is extra motivated for the Jets to succeed this year.
After a 12-year playoff drought, the organization seems prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the postseason.
Rodgers’ actions also align with that, which could result in the team signing additional assets to their roster.
The Jets had one of the league’s top defenses in 2022 and, with Rodgers at the helm, are slated to have a top-tier offense as well.
Now, the Jets will have to further examine the free-agent market, trying to determine what additions make the most sense for this roster.
They have already added significant pieces to the offense, including wide receivers to assist Rodgers.
At this point, rumors of Dalvin Cook heading to this team have heated up and seem like a probable outcome.
Having an additional $30+ million to work with should help them make their decisions.
