In a monumental shift, quarterback Aaron Rodgers officially began his journey with the New York Jets, after severing an illustrious 18-year union with the Green Bay Packers. The Jets’ quest for the Super Bowl championship spans over six decades, which sets the stage for Rodgers to refurbish the Jets’ hopes for the triumph.

Rodgers made a move to the Jets by signing a two-year deal worth $75 million in guaranteed money. And as A-Rod integrates himself into the Jets’ roster, he and the other Jets’ players are showing positive signs of bondage between them.
