I just wish he didn’t waste two years with the jets and would’ve just came to the Steelers right after the Packers

I knew Aaron was never the problem in NY the media pushed that narrative the most. I'm not a jets fan but I wish it worked out longer so we could see Adams and Rodgers again for a full season

The crazy part is that if the Jets kept Saleh (looking like the #1 d coordinator in the league rn), Adams (still cooking with the rams), and Rodgers (having a great season with the steelers) they would legit be competitive right now.
