Jason Smith and Mike Harmon react to Jets QB Aaron Rodgers saying he's willing to take a pay cut to return to the team next year and mentor another quarterback. The guys break down the logistics of another year with Rodgers, with Jason laughing at the idea of the great Aaron Rodgers taking a pay cut to stay with the JETS. Listen to the Full segment below!
Jason Smith:
“How desperate are you to stay in the NFL when you're willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Jets? It's not like, 'I'll take a pay cut to stay with the Cowboys, the 49ers, or the Steelers.' No, you're taking a pay cut to stay with the JETS. Normally, you’d expect to get paid twice as much as anyone else is offering. But here, you’re saying, 'I’ll take a pay cut to stay with the Jets.' How insane is that?!”
Mike Harmon:
“But it makes sense, though, right? The power of New York/New Jersey and keeping your brand active as a player—it’s fuzzy math, but you can easily see how staying an active NFL QB could be more valuable than not being in the league.”
