12 years is a long period. And that is exactly how long Aaron Rodgers has gone without a championship ring. He last led his former team, the Green Bay Packers, to their Super Bowl LV win over a decade ago in 2011. Now, he has signed with the New York Jets as their latest veteran starting QB. Despite Rodgers not taking the field for the franchise yet; the Jets are already seeing a massive impact on his investment.
Aaron Rodgers is yet to make his much-awaited debut appearance in his new home in New York. But his presence has made an impact on the Jets’ statistics.

The Jets had a drawback last season, finishing 7-10 because of the poor quality of their QB plays. But they are hoping to change the game after signing Rodgers for the 2023 season. While fans wait in anticipation for A-Rod to take on the field for the Jets in the league, the Jets already witness a massive surge in the sale of season tickets and luxury suites.
Recently in March, the ticket sales for the Jets had a projected increase of 250% on the same day when Rodgers said his intention was to play in New York. Now, Jets President Woody Johnson went ahead to state they have witnessed a massive 400% surge in season ticket sales after acquiring the 4X NFL MVP.
I guess it’s safe to say fans of the Jets are excited to see how the arrival of A-Rod changes their fortune in the league. But not all seem to have their confidence set on Rodgers. They even took to social media to express their opinions on the massive ticket sales surge.
