The New York Jets will finally have some stability in the quarterback position after acquiring the future Hall of Fame QB Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for some draft picks. After months and months of speculations and rumors, the Jets officially completed the trade for Rodgers last week just ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 39-year-old quarterback has 2 years left on his contract he signed back in the 2022 off-season. Rodgers also claimed that this is not a one-year thing in New York. Instead, he is looking to commit to the Jets to win a Super Bowl. However, Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd doesn’t think Rodgers has much time in the Big Apple.

During a recent episode of his show, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, the long-time NFL analyst claims that the Jets franchise, media, and fans will quickly turn on the 10-time Pro Bowl QB if he doesn’t perform at a high level in his year one with the Jets.

“It’s really a one-year lease with the Jets, If he’s great the city will love him, if he’s not they’ll get rid of him,” said Cowherd. “They have nothing invested. It’s a one-year deal. It is not marriage; it’s dating. You can move off dating. It’s very complicated with marriage. That’s why moving off Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay was very, very complicated. The exit was bad.”

Nevertheless, the NY fans enjoying the off-season and are optimistic about Aaron Rodgers as their QB in the 2023 season. Many people even the worst-case scenario with Rodgers won’t be as bad as what they would be getting with their former second overall pick Zach Wilson.
