Happiness comes naturally after expectations become a reality. As a result of his intention to join the Jets coming true, Aaron Rodgers’ eyes have become brimming with joy.
AR has played for the Packers for 18 seasons, has been chosen to play in 8 Pro Bowls, and has led the team to a Super Bowl victory, but he was not eager to end his playing career with the squad.
What did Turner say regarding Aaron Rodgers happiness following his signing with the Jets?
A-rod made it known on the Pat McAfee show that he no longer wanted to be a member of the Packers and hoped to join the Jets instead. In order to add the quarterback to their roster, the Jets also expressed a strong interest, and eventually, the deal saw daylight, granting Aaron’s wish.
The deal was obviously very exciting for the 39-year-old, and recently, Billy Turner of the Jets revealed as much on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Radio. Rodger’s enthusiasm for passing the ball during a recent practice is something we have already witnessed. He was evidently happy with the team as he was so intently focused and action-oriented.

“The dude just shows up to work, and he’s just so f–king happy right now,” Turner said. “It’s very cool to witness and see because it doesn’t matter how long you’re in this profession, it’s the type of profession where regardless of how long you spend in it, you can always experience something new. And he’s experiencing something new for the first time in his career, and it’s cool to be part of and watch.”
Billy spent his first three seasons with the Packers playing alongside Aaron, giving him a deeper understanding of the quarterback. His illustrious career in Green Bay is one of the reasons the team has what is arguably one of the NFL’s best offensive lines, starting all 43 games for the team, and averaging 13 regular-season victories per year.
However, the offensive tackle feels that the Packers’ improper assessment of the four-time MVP’s value caused the quarterback to lose interest in the team. He feels that the Packers’ improper assessment of the four-time MVP’s value caused the quarterback to lose interest in the team and also blamed the Packers’ knowledge for having less confidence in Rodgers’ productivity due to his age.
Despite not blaming his former team specifically, A-Rod’s actions are consistent with the remarks made by a new Jets teammate. Perhaps in the future AR will demonstrate his value once more, making the Packers regret their lack of faith in him.
