The quarterback for the New York Jets, sustained a torn Achilles tendon during the opening drive of the 2023 season, and has since missed the entire season. He claims he is on course to return at some point this season, but as of right now, no one knows for sure. But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rodgers has a decent possibility of returning to Green Bay for the upcoming campaign, something that supporters have been eagerly awaiting for a very long time.
New York Jets Vs. Green Bay Packers
The Jets’ schedule will include a road game against an NFC North opponent, and many analysts think that the Green Bay Packers will be the team, making it Rodgers’ first time back at Lambeau Field since he was on the team. This is a highly anticipated game for many NFL and Packers fans, so the chances are that we will see this matchup in 2024.
Green Bay traded Rodgers to New York back in April in a blockbuster transaction that shook the NFL world. The Packers received the Jets’ first-round pick, second-round pick, and sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft, along with a conditional 2024 second-round pick. It hasn’t worked out for New York so far, but we will find out how Rodgers will perform hopefully rather than later.
Aaron Rodgers Career
Rodgers will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time when he hangs up the cleats. HE brought a Super Bowl championship to Green Bay in his time with the Packers, and he is looking to do the same with the Jets. He has amounted to 59,055 passing yards and 475 touchdowns in his career since entering the league in 2005. This is the first year he is on a different team, but he has not been able to show how he will do with another team due to his injury
At the moment, New York sits 3rd in the AFC East with a 4-7 record. Even if it looks unlikely for the club to make the playoffs at this stage of the season, they still have time to improve. The team would gain a lot of momentum if they were to go on a winning streak and bring Aaron Rodgers back into the mix. Next season, it will be interesting to see if he plays against his former team. That would be very exciting for both Packers supporters and the seasoned quarterback.
