In the 2023-24 NFL season, the New York Jets were facing the Buffalo Bills in their first game. Aaron Rodgers, after only four snaps, tore his left Achilles tendon. He only played 4:45 out of 15 minutes in the quarter. The recovery time for Aaron is nine to twelve months. As a result of tearing his tendon, he will be on crutches for 3-4 weeks.
Eli and Payton Manning spoke on Rodgers’ injuries on the YouTube channel, “Omaha Productions,” Manning expressed, “Holy cow, I cannot believe this. I thought it was just an ankle. I thought we’d go tape it up and get him back in there. That quote by Manning shows how much people care about and like Aaron as a player and person. The Jets head coach also spoke on it. Here’s what he stated: “ MRI is probably going to confirm what we think is already going to happen so prayers tonight but…. It’s not good.” Patrick Mahomes posted a tweet on Twitter / X that said, “Hate that, man… Praying for the best.” Kevin Durant commented on a tweet: “I’m so sick right now. Get well soon 8.” Once more Charles Woodson, a player for the Green Bay Packer said, “This can’t be happening right now… Unreal.”
According to NBC New York, Rodgers has racked up $306.6 million in career earnings and agreed to a three-year, $150.8 million deal with the Green Bay Packers in 2022. He was previously the NFL’s fourth highest-paid player with an average annual salary of around $50 million. He is now the sixth highest-paid quarterback. He has a rating of 103.4 and a TD: INT of 475:105.
In conclusion, this is a big loss for the New York Jets and the fans. Who knows if their end-of-season record would differ if they had him on the team, or if they will get a spot in the playoffs? Let’s hope that he has a fast and healthy recovery.
