$5.4 Billion Aaron Rodgers Effect Booms New York Nation

A few years ago, no one would have believed, if you claimed that Aaron Rodgers would play for the Jets. Being drafted in 2005, he spent almost two decades with the Packers, till the age of 39. It was almost certain that the 4x MVP was not going anywhere. Then Jordan Love’s recruitment to the team, and disagreement with the management, led Rodgers to a dark place, eventually to the transfer to the Jets, the team without a trophy since the moon landing.

However, it doesn’t seem all bad, as A-Rod finally seems happy and contended in the Big Apple. And it only goes both ways, as the fandom is brimming with excitement.

Aaron Rodgers already started breaking records in mere months

Even before his initial arrival, there were certain rumors flying around the community about the same. And the domino effect took the Jets’ jersey sale by storm, with a massive 400% spike for the ‘No. 8’. It was also the most sold unit in the month of April. With the OTAs in progress, and building the roster around the 4x MVP, the Gang Green Nation now embraces a newfound sense of hope. It’s all so evident even in the training camp tickets.

With the draft season at an end, NFL teams are now heading into the training camps. And to anyone’s surprise, the Jets Nation exceeded all exceptions in terms of the hype. NFL Insider, Adam Schefter took to Twitter to share a remarkable feat, achieved by the fans. The tweet claims that the tickets for the first four open training camps were sold in the span of three minutes. If that’s not the ‘A-Rod Effect’, then nothing is.

It’s also reported in the tweet that the tickets for five more practices will be made available in the coming days. Additionally, this is not the only effect Rodgers had on the Jets.

The Jets might be featured in six nationally televised games

With the Jets’ acquisition of Rodgers, his impacts are not only limited to tickets and jersey sales. The once-forgotten team has now turned into a serious Super Bowl contender, with the league’s TV partners piling in for their own bite. From playing in only one nationally televised game, the team is now expected to earn the spotlight with 6 or more prime-time games.

Rodgers’ athletic prowess is no secret, with his 4 MVP titles, and also leading his former team to the Super Bowl, almost single-handedly. The Jets now, not only have a top-tier QB but also an improved roster. And it’s safe to say that these changes have brought hope and excitement for the fans in the upcoming season.
