The New York Jets fanbase was undoubtedly fired up over the news that the team had reached a trade deal with the Green Bay Packers for four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers on Monday, and included in that group was former head coach Rex Ryan. 

Ryan, who coached the Jets to their last playoff appearance in 2010, said the deal to bring Rodgers to New York for the 2023 season puts the entire NFL on notice.

 His father, Buddy Ryan, earned the ring when he served as the Jets' defensive line coach during their 1968 Super Bowl-winning season.

"This is the missing piece for the New York Jet right here," Ryan added. "Our defense is better than yours. Our quarterback’s better than yours. It is on."
