Want to hear something kooky? Aaron Rodgers still has not officially ditched the idea of playing for the New York Jets this season. Teammates spotted him on Monday at the Jets’ complex in Florham Park getting treatment on the left achilles tendon that he blew out less than three months ago, a mere four plays into his 19th NFL season.
Rodgers told Pat McAfee on his ESPN radio show Tuesday that two factors would drive his decision to return in 2023: “It’s [my] health, first,” Rodgers said, and, “Are we alive, second?” as in, would the Jets be in contention for a playoff berth when he was ready to play in a game. A return is unlikely – but not out of the question, either.
