Aaron Rodgers closed out the regular season with a victory, snapping a two-game losing streak in a game against the Miami Dolphins that caught the attention of a New York Jets legend. The former Jets icon delivered a clear and strong message to the veteran quarterback about his future with the franchise.
Joe Namath, the Jets legend who famously led the team to its only Super Bowl title, praised Rodgers’ performance and urged him to remain with the team for the upcoming season. Speaking candidly, Namath said, “There’s no doubt he’s got at least another year in him,” emphasizing his desire for Rodgers to continue as the Jets’ quarterback.
Namath expressed his admiration for Rodgers, adding, “So if he WANTS to, I’d love to see him stay with the Jets.” He also highlighted Rodgers’ potential off the field, saying, “He could definitely help the new GM and coach, as well as play ball.”
Namath, who orchestrated one of the greatest upsets in NFL history, was impressed by Rodgers’ sharp play against the Dolphins, where the quarterback posted 274 passing yards and threw four touchdowns.
