As the older Kelce brother questioned how the cabin might have smelled, the SNL host had an interesting answer. Travis speculated that the cabin might have smelled like mildew or sage. Jason Kelce speculated on how the cabin would’ve been based on his own experiences. Furthermore, he also took a dig at Rodgers about his inability to make decisions in a normal way. He said, “Whenever I’m in a cabin that like an outdoor like wooded structure there’s that like very um almost like dewy smell and it’s just always there. And apparently, it helps you decide where you want to go in free agency.”

Furthermore, Travis also poked some fun at Rodgers keeping Jason Kelce’s most recent announcement in mind. He jokingly spoke about how the Philly center should’ve gotten more attention instead of Rodgers.

While the Kelce brothers were definitely joking, there is some truth to their words. Rodgers did end up taking a long time to make a decision about his landing spot. However, even after he made his intentions about going to the Jets clear, the deal isn’t final. It only remains to be seen what pound of flesh the Packers extract before they let go of Rodgers.
