The New York Jets built the entire team around QB Aaron Rodgers last offseason, and expectations were sky high. The season lasted a total of 4 snaps for Rodgers, as he suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon on the 1st drive, and all of the wind was taken out of the team’s sails.
The Jets hung around and won 7 games while running QB Zach Wilson in and out of the lineup, with QBs Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian also seeing starts. In other words, it was a disaster. The Jets had just 11 total TD passes and 15 INT between the 3 signal callers. Rodgers is reportedly healthy, and ready to do big things in 2024.
All of those quarterbacks are gone, and veteran Tyrod Taylor is the insurance policy in case Rodgers is forced to miss any time in 2024.
The Jets made a point to go big in the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting OT Olu Fashanu in Round 1, and the team added Western Kentucky standout WR Malachi Corley to give Rodgers a new speed burner downfield. Corley joins veteran WR Mike Williams, WR Garrett Wilson and WR Allen Lazard to give Gang Green an impressive wideouts group.
Defensively, the Jets were amazing in 2023, allowing just 292.3 total yards per game to rank 3rd in the NFL, according to covers.com, with just 168.3 passing yards allowed.
