The Aaron Rodgers era in New York has culminated in more disappointment—and drama—than anyone could have imagined this NFL season. After the Jets sacked their head coach and general manager in the span of the last two months, many naturally wondered whether Rodgers would be the next member of the franchise to be ousted.
A bombshell report by Dianna Russini of The Athletic last week further stoked those rumors when Russini wrote that Jets owner Woody Johnson wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers in favor of backup Tyrod Taylor. Russini has since followed that up with a report that it is “increasingly likely” Rodgers could be placed on injured reserve or benched over the next few weeks.
