I gave you a Sad face but you know why. It sucks for Aaron but thanks for the info. His career may be over. He is without a doubt a top 10 QB of all-time. 4 League MVP's and he did at least win 1 SB. Never will get #2 though. Jets fans have to be deflated. They had a nice win tonight but in the big picture they aren't winning more than 8 or 9 games now, JMO. They have a good roster that might get them 9 if Wilson can play average, he has been terrible most of the time though.

I understand the emoji….  No worries.   
 

And while Wilson was terrible his first two years, I’ve read he had a very good off-season camp.  That he looked much much better.   Perhaps not great, but very much improved.   
 

There may be enough talent on the rest of the roster to maybe squeeze  out a decent season….  Wild card level perhaps.   
 

Im pulling for Wilson.  I like to pull for under dogs who appear to have a change in approach and have had a slice of humble pie.   Wilson, Smith, Mayfield, Darnold and others….  
 

I do feel bad for the Jets.  I hope Rodgers comes out soon to announce he’ll be back next year.   That would be a good thing. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Yea to pull of a trade and give all that draft capital up and you don’t even get more than 4 plays from the dude and is likely gone for the year to injury. That totally sucks for the jets and their fans.

 

 

[RollerColt]

I think his career is likely over. To have to go through all of that conditioning process again next season… he was already leaning towards hanging it up at one point earlier this year. 
 

An absolute nightmare situation for NY.

$35M-ish is calling as reason for him to come back next year.  
 

As a football fan in general, though, what a drag this injury is.  All the hype and hope, down the tubes after only 4 plays.  Sheesh.

[Peter Nova]

The Jets must be Jinxed. 

[NFLfan]

I have never been a fan of Rodgers but I was rooting for him and the Jets this year. He looked so happy and his teammates like him a lot. What a difference from his time in GB. The fans were so excited this offseason. I know how deflating it is to lose your QB. And he is a HoF QB.

 

All the best for a speedy recovery. Hope he will play for the Jets next year. The Jets have such an exciting team. Hopefully Zach Wilson will be able to play okay and not lose them games this year.

In the meanwhile, Green Bay Packers look like they keep on moving. Jordan Love looked composed for the most part and did well.

 

Sad for Rodgers. Hope he can come back next year. But no one would blame him if he hung it up. That also shows you how well Brady took care of his body to play as long and effectively as he did. Brady in football and Djokovic in tennis, they are very much similar.

[Lancer1]

It's confirmed

[King Colt]

"New York, New York!" as the song goes. The Giants get humiliated 40-0 and the Jets lose Rodgers for the entire season five minutes into the game. (I left out the Mets, Nets and Yankees out of the kindness of my heart.)

Brady is just different. On a completely next level in his obsession for his health. I just don't know if Rodgers has it in him to keep doing this.

So who do the Jets pick for the QB job? Carson Wentz is available.

Wilson and Wentz are very similar in their reckless play and inability to read the defense. They need a game manager who can just take the layups and not turn the ball over. 

 

The Jets might have a top 3 defense. They just need someone to hand the ball off to Hall and make a good throw here or there. Maybe they'll call Matt Ryan? lol...

Wentz only made it 1 season in both Indy & DC before each franchise willingly parted ways with him - he's not their answer, unless it's to back up Wilson.

[RollerColt]

The truth from last night: The Hard Knocks curse is real and it's hateful and it doesn't discriminate. 

[King Colt]

The Jets should look at the results of Luck leaving the Colts when they choose a QB. There is no reason to believe Wilson will succeed.

There are better choices out there for a backup.

Matthew Stafford.

[richard pallo]

This should put an end to teams bringing in an old veteran quarterback to win it all.  Just look at the Colts and now the Jets.  It’s a long season loaded with minefields.

[richard pallo]

Can you imagine how many Rogers jerseys were sold up to last nights game.  Poor Jets fans.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Watch it be Matt Ryan and he balls out, played bad for us, then he will look like a Hall of Famer for the Jets 

[NFLfan]

Edit: I now see that @Lancer1posted it.

 

Lancer, many Jets fans want Rivers. Will he come out of retirement for that?

 

It is too bad that Cousins's contract is so inflexible that trading him is not feasible. The Vikings need draft capital to get a top QB next year.

It’s been confirmed, Achilles torn, he’s out for the year!

It would further prove that Reich was the issue

Maybe you will get a top 5 pick and can draft one or move up into the top 5 and get one. Vikings might have a bad year this season??

[Gramz]

What a crazy opening week.

Bengals sucked

Bills sucked

Aaron is probably out for season.

KC lost home opener..

 

49ers could be team to beat this year.

 

All bets are off.

 

Bring on week 2.

Rodgers is out for the season. It was a wild week. Detroit won. GB won without Rodgers. Dallas looks good.

I doubt if Philip would come out of retirement at age 41 to play a whole season - if someone needed him for a playoff run or for 1 game, that being a Superbowl, he'd probably give it a go but not likely for a whole 17 games or more.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

I wanted to see Rodgers Belt celebration in Gang Green 

[King Colt]

When the Jets traded Rodgers to Green Bay, they were giving multiple draft picks, including a 2023 first-rounder, a 2023 second-rounder and a 2023 sixth-rounder. They also got a 2024 conditional second-round pick that can become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of the snaps this year, but clearly, that's now not going to happen.

You actually save money against the cap this year if you were to trade him.

 

Via Spotrac:

2023 Dead Cap: $10,250,000

2024 Dead Cap: $28,500,000

2023 Cap Savings: $10,000,000

 

$28.5m dead cap next year though too.

 

 

Saying that, if you don't extend him next year, you will have that anyway.

I don't know how to read Spotrac too well. I see $48.5 million dead cap for this year.

That's if they were to release him, and would be spread over this year and next.

 

If you click on the red x on far right of 2023, it breaks down the cap hits for Release/trades, pre/post June 1st.

May God bless Aaron Rogers with a complete recovery - no matter how much time it takes!!

 

It is my hope that he will be able to walk without a limp in the next chapter of his life.

 

In my humble opinion - I don't see a 39 (at the time of recovery) year old QB being able to continue an NFL career.
