Ever since joining the New York Jets in a blockbuster trade deal, Aaron Rodgers is working to wake a sleeping giant. He handed over his wishlist of how the offense should look like for him and the Jets have given in to the wishes. Players like Allen Lazard have come in to strengthen the QB’s options to throw the ball. But how is Rodgers getting his way on every offensive weapon that he wants from his new franchise? An NFL free agent offensive tackle thinks he has the answer.
Rodgers has moved bases for the first time in his 18-year career. He left the Green Bay Packers, with whom he has won a Super Bowl and four league MVP awards. But now, he is starting afresh on the East coast, with the teammates of his choosing. Taylor Lewan revealed why he thinks the new Jets QB is getting everything he can get from his new franchise.

Taylor Lewan talked about the Jets signing Randall Cobb as they prepare for the first season with Aaron Rodgers as their signal caller. According to the free agent OT, the Jets are playing a long game and do not want their QB to go away after just one season. So they are bringing him all the help that he might need to convince him to stay another season.
“It seems like the Jets are just doing exactly what Aaron Rodgers wanted the Packers to do for so many years. They seem like, they’re just bending over backwards for this man, giving him. everything he wants. It might be a long play, so he doesn’t retire after this year. I don’t know but it seems like everybody on Aaron Rodgers wish list besides Odell Beckham Jr has been answered,” Lewan said on ‘Bussin with the Boys’ podcast.The Jets signed wide receiver Randall Cobb on a one-year deal worth up to $4 million. Out of the total money, the veteran WR is getting $3 million in guaranteed money to join his ex-Packers QB. Can they get the New York franchise to the heights that the fans want?

The offense already has the looks of being terrifying, Cobb’s addition is just going to stoke the fire a little bit more.

Fans won’t care who brought in all those players if they can deliver them a Super Bowl. That is what Rodgers hinted at during his introductory press conference. Will he be able to deliver to a team that has got him everything he wants? Time has all the answers.
