PHOENIX — Michael Strahan is confident that Aaron Rodgers would be a fit for the Jets and for New York.
“Aaron Rodgers has a big-city kind of vibe,” Strahan said at a Fox press conference. “He can do it.
“I think that the Jets have a great young receiving corps, they got a running game, I think they have a defense. I think if they’re the team that he can be that missing piece, that would be a good one. I don’t think he wants to go to a team where he’s trying to figure out what they are. The Jets got an excitable coach [Robert Saleh], too.”
Strahan was asked if he thinks Rodgers, a West Coast guy, would like New York.
“I think he’d love New York, yeah,” Strahan said. “Who wouldn’t love New York.”
Some guys have been scared off by New York.
“Yeah, I don’t think Aaron Rodgers is really scared off by much of anything,” Strahan said. “He is about as cool and as chill and can handle any situation as anyone. I just think he wants to win, obviously, I think he wants to be in a situation where he feels maybe happy and appreciated.
“And I think New York definitely would show him that.”

If he does, it won’t be in Green Bay, barring a change of management’s heart, which appears ready to trade him out of the conference.
