The New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is set to miss out on his team’s voluntary workouts as he remains on the trading block since the start of the offseason. Wilson was provided permission in February to speak to other teams about a potential trade.

A regular fixture in the Jets’ roster over the past three seasons, Wilson’s absence appears out of place. When asked about the player’s trade status, Jets General Manager Joe Douglas stated that there is no news on his future. “I think it’s each player’s choice whether they’re going to be here for Phase 1 [of the program],” Douglas stated. “These are all voluntary. There are quite a few players that haven’t come for the first week. So, look, that’s a decision that Zach has to make.”

Drafted by the Jets as the number two overall pick in 2021, Wilson’s lack of trade offers may be a result of his hefty $5.45 million fully guaranteed salary. His potential move would largely depend on how much of his salary the Jets would be willing to absorb.

Dalvin Cook’s underwhelming spell with the New York Jets has ended. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets made a decision to waive Cook ahead of their last game of the season.

Schefter adds that Cook restructured his contract ahead of the release, forfeiting the remainder of the guarantees. The move improves the running back’s chances of landing with a playoff contender in the following days.

The Jets signed Cook on a one-year, $7 million deal in August. The team wanted to add more power to their running game while also providing cover for starter Breece Hall, who was coming back from a knee injury.

However, the Jets didn’t have much confidence in Cook once the season started, giving him more than nine carries in just one game. He only had one rushing attempt in Week 16 against the Dolphins while remaining on the sidelines for last week’s 37-20 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old will finish his stint with the Jets with 214 rushing yards and zero touchdowns.

Dalvin Cook spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. He received four consecutive Pro Bowl nods during his time with the franchise. The Vikings opted to release him at the end of the 2022 campaign.

The New York Jets’ star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is abandoning his attempt to miraculously return from an Achilles injury. In his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers confirmed that he won’t play in the 2023 season.

“If I was 100 percent today, I’d be definitely pushing to play,” said Rodgers. “But the fact is, I’m not.”

Rodgers suffered an Achilles tear in Week 1 and was initially expected to be out for the remainder of the season. However, the 40-year-old publicly expressed his intentions to beat the expectations and return to the field for the Week 16 game against the Washington Commanders. This would be earlier than any other NFL player managed to make a comeback with the same type of injury.

But with the Jets already being out of playoff run, there is no real incentive for Rodgers to play in the Commanders game or any other in 2023.

“There’s always a fear about rerupture if you’re going too fast,” Rodgers added. “But this allows me to — I’m not going to slow my rehab down. I’m going to keep attacking it every single day, but now, without a timetable to come back, obviously, we can be as smart as we need to be.”

Rodgers also shared that he doesn’t believe the 2024 campaign will be his last one in the NFL and said that he intends to play at least a couple more years.

The Jets, currently at 5-9, will likely field journeyman Trevor Siemian under center for the Commanders game. Zach Wilson, who started at the QB position for the better part of the 2023 season, is currently out due to a concussion.

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.

The New York Jets’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers is continuing his unprecedented recovery from the Achilles injury he suffered in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers, only 11 weeks removed from what was supposed to be a season-ending surgery, returned to Jets’ practice on Wednesday.

Rodgers practiced in a limited capacity, but the move opens a 21-day window in which the Jets can activate the 39-year-old player from Injured Reserve and make him eligible to play again this season.

Rodgers previously stated on multiple occasions that he intends to return on the field in 2023 if the Jets are in a position to play for a playoff spot and he feels ready. He also said that he is targeting the December 24 game against the Washington Commanders for his comeback.

In case Rodgers ends up playing against the Commanders, it would be the fastest any NFL player returned from an Achilles injury. While there is a concern that this might be too soon, Jets’ head coach Robert Saleh said he trusts Rodgers’ judgment.

“Aaron is not going to do anything to put himself in harm’s way,” said Saleh during a press conference on Wednesday.

After Rodgers went down, the Jets turned to last season’s starter Zach Wilson as his replacement. While the New York team managed to go 4-3 in their first seven games, Wilson struggled and ended up being benched following a three-game losing streak. Veteran Tim Boyle took over for last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins, but the Jets delivered another underwhelming performance and suffered a 13-34 loss.

With the way the Jets have been playing lately, it is hard to see them remaining alive in the playoff race until Rodgers returns. But they now have added motivation to at least try.

The New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to return to action in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. The wide receiver was listed as questionable after injuring his right elbow, however, he revealed that he is leaning toward playing.

“It’s doing better,” Wilson confirmed to reporters following a practice session with his team on Friday. “I’m feeling good, so we’re going to rock this weekend.” He suffered his injury during last week’s 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, however, he was able to complete the game, making nine catches for 93 yards.

Wilson’s inclusion in Sunday’s game will be warmly welcomed by the Jets, who are in desperate need of a win after dropping two straight games to go 4-5. He leads the team with 55 catches for 642 yards and two touchdowns.

The New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed a vague timeline for his injury recovery on Tuesday, hinting that he could return to the field in six weeks. “It’ll be a few fortnights,” he stated during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

Rodgers underwent surgery on his injured Achilles eight weeks ago. Should he manage to recover in six weeks, he will be able to play during the Jets’ Christmas Week clash with the Washington Commanders on December 24. This would also be the fastest return from an Achilles injury by any NFL player.

Still, the 39-year-old player has acknowledged that such a swift return would be unlikely. “It’d be nice to be able to be back in a couple of weeks. That’s probably not anywhere near a realistic timeline,” Rodgers admitted.

Veteran quarterback Matt Ryan made it clear on several occasions that he isn’t retired from football. However, he has no interest in making his comeback to the NFL with the New York Jets.

Ryan is currently working as an analyst with CBS Sports and apparently prefers to stay in that role rather than try to bail out the desperate Jets.

“I’m really enjoying what I’m doing,” said Ryan. “(My agent) wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t looking into certain situations. He and I talked, and I got no interest in doing that right now.”

The Jets entered the 2023 season with four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. But Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1, forcing the New York team to turn to third-year signal caller Zach Wilson.

Wilson struggled since being pushed into the starting role, completing 52.4% of his passes and throwing for only 467 yards and two touchdowns. He also has four interceptions.

The Jets are reportedly leaning towards bringing in a veteran quarterback to try and salvage their season and had significant interest in Ryan. Unfortunately, this option doesn’t seem to be on the table anymore and they will likely have to look elsewhere or hope that Wilson starts playing better.

The New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed on Thursday that the surgery he underwent to repair a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg went smoothly. “Surgery went great yesterday,” Rodgers announced on a social media post. “Thank you for all the love and prayers and support. And thanks to the [goat emoji] Dr. ElAttrache and his staff for starting me on the road to recovery.”

During the Jets opening game of the new season – a 22-16 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills – Rodgers suffered the season-ending injury, bringing a premature end to his debut for the Jets.

Following his surgery, Rodgers is expected to undergo several months of intensive rehab. According to both Jets coach Robert Saleh and owner Woody Johnson, the 39-year-old player is expected to return to action sometime in 2024.

Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles injury has dominated much of the headlines following the New York Jets’ Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills. If it wasn’t for that, safety Jordan Whitehead would likely be the main talking point.

Whitehead put together a massive performance in a 22-16 overtime win, intercepting the Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen three times. He became the first player to have three picks in a season opener since 2001 while also getting significant cash windfall.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Whitehead earned himself a $250K bonus thanks to his hat-trick of interceptions. It turned out that the 26-year-old player had an interception incentive in his contract and managed to clear it in Week 1.

Speaking after the Bills game, Whitehead said that he wasn’t too surprised that he managed to pick off Allen so many times.

“I’ve just been working all offseason, teammates have been pushing me. So no surprise. Deep balls, just every day at practice,” said Whitehead.

Jordan Whitehead spent the first four years of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, helping the franchise win Super Bowl LV. He joined the Jets on a two-year deal ahead of the 2022 campaign. Whitehead has 10 career interceptions, and his three picks in 2023 are already his career-high in a season.
