If they knew with Dobbins yesterday, they know with Rodgers.

He’ll get $50 million. It’s the NFL that looks stupid.

Called this from the start... Rodgers wants his money... Period!

He actually agreed to a $35 million reduction so the Jets could put more talent around him. If it was just money he would have made the Packers (or trade partner) pay the whole amount.

The Jets can’t have nice things.

...and they don't deserve them. Long before the Jets started kneeling in solidarity with fan-hating Communists, this is the team that hired Rich Kotite as their coach as though it was all a George Costanza / Seinfeld / New York comedy bit. The organization really doesn't think much of themselves and thinks even less of their fans.

On the plus side for the Jets, Vinny Testaverde is probably available, and despite being 59 years old, he'd play better than anyone else the Jets will get.

That should have been tripping on the return.

Still would have been a chip-shot FG to win.

Slow motion of the injury of Aaron Rodgers

At his age, why was he messing around with the DE like that, just throw it away like Brady did!

Ball would have probably been at around the 30-35 yard line. Not a sure thing, but most likely Jets would still win. Especially since Buffalo’s offense was horrid in the 2nd half.

In league history, only 34 NFL players at all positions have continued to play into their 40s, most in backup roles.
.
Aaron Rodgers will soon turn 40, and he’s missed significant playing time for a broken collarbone, a broken thumb, and now likely a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. (His calf strain during training camp may have been an indication of a more serious issue building.)
.
Tom Brady was the exception, not the rule, of playing at a high level in the fifth decade of life. I get the impression that Rodgers is no Brady, and that his NFL career might be ending sooner than anticipated.

Hope they enjoy it. Despite a stellar D, with Wilson at QB there is no way the Jets will make the playoffs.

I don’t know, I think he grew a bit tonight. It certainly helps knowing you’ve got a good defense.

Football players get hurt all the time. What is stunning about this?

Because its the Jets they can't win for losing.

as a former Jets fan I have come to believe the team is cursed.

That injury doesn’t happen on natural grass.

I don’t know about stunned, but it did temporarily shut up that insufferable broadcast crew.

Rodgers hasn’t done anything of note since the 2010 season when he won the Super Bowl... Since then, he’s been a complete dud with no rings, no championships and very little to speak of or about...

One measly Super Bowl appearance and they have the audacity to compare him to Tom Brady with ten appearances and 7 rings... Trent Dilfer and Rodgers have more in common.

I agree, play only on Grass.

Especially since for the World Cup they will install Real Grass for the games. So if they can do it, the NFL can do it.

I think Zach Wilson grew up tonight, I think he’s going to be ok.

If it wasn’t for Rodgers, a lot of those Packers teams don’t sniff the playoffs.
