Aaron Rodgers to Jets

The New York Jets' acquisition of Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers was a major offseason move, with the Packers receiving four draft picks in return. However, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in his season debut, sidelining him for the entire 2023 NFL season. As the Jets prepare for the upcoming 2024 season, head coach Robert Saleh indicated that Rodgers is unlikely to play in the preseason to reduce the risk of further injury, despite the potential benefits of in-game reps. The Jets have also signed tight end Anthony Firkser to bolster their offensive options. While there are concerns about Rodgers' readiness for the regular season, he is expected to be fully recovered by Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. The Jets' defensive coordinator remains optimistic, envisioning a strong season for the team with Rodgers at the helm, provided they can maintain a winning standard.
