The New York Jets rolled out the red carpet for Aaron Rodgers in 2023 seeking to repeat the Super Bowl magic Peyton Manning and Tom Brady captured after leaving the franchises they made famous. However, Rodgers’ first season in New York lasted just four plays before he tore his left Achilles – lending itself to a league-worst 13th straight year missing the playoffs.
His Hall of Fame resume is undeniable. Prior to last year, in 15 seasons as a starter, Rodgers has topped 4,000 passing yards 10 times and threw 30 or more touchdowns eight times.
The Jets have surrounded Rodgers with plenty of talent, and he’s now fully recovered. Third-year man Garrett Wilson has posted a pair 1,000-yard seasons with suspect quarterbacks, and they signed veteran Mike Williams (knee) away from the Chargers to give the Jets a potent one-two punch at the top of the depth chart. But Rodgers has potent weapons aside from just his top two receivers.
