‘I am an old man. So I want to be part of a team that can win anything. I believe this is a place where we can pull it off,” Rodgers said of the Jets’ Super Bowl chances.
“I noticed when I came in this morning that the Super Bowl III trophy looks a little lonely. I really believe this is where I’m supposed to be.’
Rodgers left for New York after 18 years in Green Bay and is a four-time MVP winner.
