Turmoil in New York Jets Following Rodgers' Injury

Strained relations, leaks, and a tumultuous season put the team and coach Robert Saleh under pressure.

Aaron Rodgers, the four-time MVP quarterback, was expected to mentor Zach Wilson, the 2021 No. 2 pick, but the relationship reportedly soured as Rodgers was distant during his rehab from an Achilles injury.
Rodgers' injury in the first game of the 2023 season led to turmoil within the New York Jets, with head coach Robert Saleh reportedly struggling to manage the situation.
Saleh was reportedly frustrated with leaks from within the organization, particularly around Wilson's reluctance to return to the lineup after being benched.
Despite the tumultuous 2023 season, the Jets are expected to maintain the same roster and staff for the 2024 season, with hopes of a healthy Rodgers leading to better results.
Wilson, who was benched and then suffered a concussion, is expected to be traded or released in the offseason.
