A major offseason business decision regarding Aaron Rodgers may have cost the Jets a significant amount of money in regard to the star quarterback’s season-ending injury in Week 1.
After trading for Rodgers in April, New York was offered multiple insurance policies, known as temporary total disability policies, for the 39-year-old quarterback but decided not to open one, according to a report published Saturday by Sportico.
The curious move “potentially cost the team $20 million-plus in insurance proceeds,” per Sportico, as Rodgers, who turns 40 on Dec. 2, went on to tear his right Achilles tendon in the first quarter of the season opener against the Bills.
