Just a handful of weeks ago, the New York Jets had a 4-3 record after being the first (and only) team to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles this season. They had recovered from a slow start to the season and were even threatening first place in the AFC East for a short time, but it seems that the mid-season success was a flash in the pan. Robert Saleh’s team has now lost four straight games to drop to 4-7, and their playoff hopes are essentially gone after falling to the Miami Dolphins on Black Friday.

Aaron Rodgers has of course been one of the big stories as the Jets struggle. This was of course supposed to be his team to lead through the 2023 NFL season, but his unfortunate Achilles injury has sidelined him for the entirety. One of the weekly stories around the league is Rodgers’ progress and how he hopes to return this season, with a mid-December target date that the quarterback was shooting for.
While it is questionable exactly what Rodgers hopes to accomplish by coming back with 2 or 3 games remaining on the schedule, there have been reports that have confirmed that he will attempt to return this year regardless of where the Jets stand with their record and playoff possibilities.
Rodgers Won’t Have Much To Play For If He Returns
#Jets QB Aaron Rodgers will reportedly return to play regardless if the team is still in playoff contention or not… but should he? why he do that if it’s not for the team?
