Report: New York Jets owner Woody Johnson proposed benching quarterback Aaron Rodgers

There were a lot of ways the acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the New York Jets could go. On the positive side, it was plausible he reverted back to some level resembling his 2021 and 2022 MVP seasons. On the negative side, it was plausible that he continued to decline and that the move would be viewed as a mistake.

But one option that I don’t think ever crossed my mind would be that he would play badly enough that the below tweet would ever exist.

And, yet, it does due to recent reporting by Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Whether this report is accurate is unclear. However, it merely existing and being even remotely plausible is as clear a sign as any that the last two years have gone anything but according to plan.

I’d say β€œSame old Jets,” but this feels extreme for even this moribund franchise.
