Rodgers already knocked out of the game against the Bills

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

His contract is guaranteed. I wouldn’t leave 37.5M on the table in 2024 if I were him. He might not play again but he’ll be having plenty of fun in NYC on Woody’s tab. Also remember the Jets pushed almost the entire cap into 2024

Time to hang it up. Carr would of been the better choice. Younger and wider window to win.

Rodgers joins a long list...

Remember 1999 when Vinny Testaverde ruptured his Achilles, beating the turf in disbelief, curled in the fetal position? Remember Chad Pennington, first with the wrist, then with the shoulder, then with the bone spurs in 2003 and beyond? Remember Brett Favre in ’08 with the torn biceps? Each time, the news came like a crack of lightning through clear skies; a disruption to the moment where the most tortured fan base in the NFL allowed itself a moment of real and sober hope.

I think Rodgers is a douche, but I don’t wish this on anyone. I hope he has a fast and full recovery. Although this could be the end of the line for him.

Aaron Rodgers isn't exactly my favorite athlete (I can't believe that the ultra-entitled super-weird Zava character on "Ted Lasso" wasn't based on Rodgers), but my main reaction isn't a celebration of the Jet's misfortune 5 minutes into his Jet's tenure...

If it isn't, it should be.

Definitely outside the box

If it's a season ender for Rodgers.. NY would probably call him. Doubt he does it, although they'd be legitimate contenders.

****ty way to go out

Makes what Brady was able to achieve well into his 40s seem even more surreal tonight.

"I'm a Patriot for life"

And not with that Oline lol

I think the Jets is one of two teams (Indy being the other) that Brady would never play for under any condition.

Isn’t Tom still under contract with the Bucs?

 

[TommyD4207]

I...do not feel for Jets fans, Evan.

Also, if it's a torn achilles, he'll end up retiring. He couldn't even be assed to show up to OTAs, you think he's going to rehab an achilles for a year?

If he retires he throws away 37.5M and he shouldn’t. Team assumes risk.

 

[Rob0729]

No. He signed a one year deal last year. He has a huge cap hit this year, but I think that is due to voidable years in his contract. Sorta how McCourty has a decent cap hit this year for the Patriots.

Nah, he's got his money, it was all signing bonus. The only party that gets screwed is the Jets.

 

[Grogan14]

Tom is part owner of the Raiders. There is no way the league would allow him to be an owner for one team and player for another.

 

[TheBeers]

Guys stop.. Tom Brady HATES the Jets, just like the rest of us. He ain't coming back to save them

 

[DaBruinz]

Could have partially tore, then popped completely when he tried to walk on it

Ok. But, I've torn a ligament, my ACL. Maybe it was the meniscus that caused all my pain, but I can tell you I wasn't just standing there acting like nothing much happened. I've got a pretty high pain tolerance.

 

[slam]

****ty way to go out

Yeah. As a Jet.
