The New York Jets had to give up a lot to land Aaron Rodgers, but that wasn’t much of a surprise.
Even if the Green Bay Packers were ready to move on from their future Hall of Famer, and even if he could retire in the next couple of years, he was still way too valuable to just give up.
However, Stephen A. Smith couldn’t care less about how much the Jets had to give up to land their new quarterback.
The controversial pundit had another of his hilarious rants, this time showing how thrilled he was about having Rodgers in New York City.

Smith raved about how big of a deal having a QB is in today’s league, stating that there was no way they could’ve won a Super Bowl without him, regardless of how great their defense is.
More than that, he claimed that Rodgers isn’t going to walk way from the game any time soon, as winning a ring in Gotham would only cement him as an NYC legend, which would obviously translate to plenty of cash in his pockets.
There’s no denying that Rodgers is the kind of guy who’d never leave money on the table, especially if that money comes with plenty of praise and recognition, so that makes sense.
But let’s also remember that Rodgers has a history of underperforming in the postseason, although it’s been a while since he had such an elite defense by his side, so there are plenty of reasons to be excited for if you’re a Jets fan.
