The New York Jets are expected to medically clear quarterback Aaron Rodgers to play this upcoming week, sources reported late Saturday. The veteran quarterback was cleared to return to practice last week after tearing his Achilles during the Jets’ season opener over three months ago.

While Rodgers himself admitted that he does not expect to be 100% healed until the end of the season, he did express a willingness to play for the Jets if they find themselves in a race for a playoff berth. Still, the fact that the 40-year-old player is almost fit to play after suffering a torn Achilles just three months ago is almost unheard of. In living memory, running back Cam Akers was the quickest player to recover from an injury of this nature, returning to the field for the Los Angeles Rams after just four months on the sidelines.

According to the Jets’ coaches, Rodgers enjoyed two impressive days of practice with the team this past week, with teammates also claiming to be impressed with his performances on the practice field. Should they want him to be active in time to play in Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, the Jets have until Wednesday to activate Rodgers.

Despite leaving the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers still wants his former franchise to continue “owning” the Chicago Bears. This is why Rodgers was happy to see that the Packers, led by new signal-caller Jordan Love, got the Week 1 win over their division rivals.

During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers revealed that he congratulated Love for “keeping the ownership” over the Bears.

“I said congratulations on keeping the ownership in place,” Rodgers said. “That was pretty awesome for him.”

Love played a good game versus the Bears, throwing for 245 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-20 win. However, he will need to have many more of those games if he wants to reach the level of Rodgers’ domination against their bitter rivals.

Since becoming the Packers’ full-time starting quarterback in 2008, Rodgers compiled a 24-5 record over the Bears. He took great pride in his ability to beat the Chicago team, even delivering a famous “I still own you” line to the Bears’ fans last season after scoring a touchdown. 

Rodgers left Green Bay in the offseason, looking to start a new chapter in his career with the New York Jets. Unfortunately, he tore his Achilles in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills and will likely miss the entire 2023 campaign.

Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a chat with reporters on Tuesday and made sure to let everyone know how much he enjoys being a member of the New York Jets.

Rodgers joined the Jets last month after asking for a trade from Green Bay Packers and says he couldn’t be happier for his decision.

“Honestly, every day has been that for me,” Rodgers said. “Every day I wake up excited about coming to the facility. I have excitement about coming down Jets Drive. “

“It’s been like a dream month,” the four-time NFL MVP added.

Rodgers had a setback during Tuesday’s practice, straining his calf. However, the veteran doesn’t seem concerned about it and believes it is just a small tweak.

“I don’t think it’s too serious,” he shared.

The New York Jets gave up a significant package to get Aaron Rodgers, believing he was the missing piece they needed to win the Super Bowl. The Jets had one of the best defenses in 2022, but failed to get to the playoffs due to an underperforming offense. With Rodgers, that will hardly be an issue.

Rodgers had a down year in 2022 by his standards, throwing for 3,695 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. However, he is just one year removed from back-to-back MVP campaigns, so the expectation is that the 39-year-old player will bounce back and get to his efficient self this year.

Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been traded to the New York Jets, sources confirmed on Monday. In exchange for the 39-year-old and their 2023 first-round (number 15) draft pick, the Packers will receive the Jets’ first-round pick (number 13) as well as a 2023 second-round pick (number 42), a 2023 sixth-round pick (number 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick should Rodgers play 65% of New York’s plays this season.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst gave few details on the impending deal, simply explaining to reporters that there were still some remaining details that needed to be worked out. He explained that Rodgers is still to take his physical with the Jets.

Gutekunst stressed the urgency of getting the Rodgers’ deal done before the draft. “It wouldn’t have been the end of the world,” Gutenkunst said, before continuing: “But at the same time, I think it would have certainly changed things quite a bit. So, getting it done was important. I just think certainly the capital for this year was very important, certainly more valuable than future stuff, for our football team. So, there were a number of reasons, but that’s why.”

Despite being cleared by Hall of Famer Joe Namath to wear the number 12 jersey, Rodgers is expected to wear the number eight.

It appears that Aaron Rodgers hasn’t changed his mind about wanting out of Green Bay. According to multiple reports, Rodgers was not present at the start of the Packers’ recent organized team activities.

Rodgers, who asked Packers to trade him earlier in the year, also missed the Packers’ previous offseason activities. The 37-year-old veteran won’t receive a fine for his absence as the OTAs are voluntary, but he will miss out on a $500k offseason workout bonus.

It is important to note that missing out on OTAs is something new for Rodgers, as he was a regular participant in the past seasons.

The first mandatory appearance that Aaron Rodgers has to make at the Packers’ facilities is a mandatory minicamp that takes place from June 8th to June 10th. In case Rodgers skips that one, too, he will be issued a fine of around $100k. The fines increase to $50k per day if he holds out during training camp.

Despite winning the 2020 NFL MVP Award and leading Green Bay to the NFC Championship finals, Rodgers is reportedly disgruntled with the Packers’ front office and is determined to force a trade. There are several things that caused the rift between the Packers and their star QB, including Green Bay’s decision to use their first-round pick in 2019 on Rodgers’ successor.

Rodgers already handed the Packers list of teams that he wants to join. It includes the San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Denver Broncos.

Green Bay, on the other hand, still refuses to engage in any serious talks about Rodgers. Both team president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst said in recent media appearances that the organization has no intention of trading their best player.
