New York Jets ‘will not go to Super Bowl’ with Aaron Rodgers, Packers legend LeRoy Butler insists
The New York Jets ‘will not go to the Super Bowl’ if they sign Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay legend LeRoy Butler insists, as he predicts they will win just eight games with the star quarterback!
Aaron Rodgers seems to inevitably end up with the New York Jets sooner rather than later, though that may not be a positive for the franchise according to Packers legend LeRoy Butler.
As parts of New York and New Jersey are jubilant with Rodgers’ imminent arrival, Butler tried to pour cold water on a deep postseason run for Gang Green.
“You’re not going to the Super Bowl,” Butler told Jets fans, via TMZ. The Hall of Fame safety even went a step further by stating that the Jets will again finish under .500!
New York finished the last NFL season at the bottom of the AFC East with a 7-9 record, after losing six straight games to close it out.
As evidenced by a 7-3 start, there’s plenty of promise at Florham Park, although Butler doesn’t necessarily agree.
