It’s becoming increasingly unlikely that the Jets will bring back quarterback Aaron Rodgers for another year, especially since he continues to needle owner Woody Johnson.
There’s another reason for the Jets to move on. If Rodgers returns, receiver Garrett Wilson could be looking for a way out.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Wilson could ask for a trade if Rodgers comes back.
The 2022 NFL offensive rookie of the year, Wilson is eligible for a new contract after the current season.
Rodgers and Wilson reportedly had a “blowup” during camp. The receiver’s numbers haven’t been out of whack in comparison to his first two seasons, despite the arrival of Rodgers BFF Davante Adams. For the year, Wilson has been targeted 141 times, with 90 catches for 987 yards and six touchdowns.
Of course, during Wilson’s first two seasons, the quarterback wasn’t one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
So, yes, Wilson arguably should be getting more. His talent is undeniable. With Rodgers as the quarterback, it’s more complicated than that.
For the Jets, it’s not that complicated. A new G.M. and a new coach should be inclined to move on from the move that brought down their predecessors. Even if the new regime wants Rodgers, Woody (and/or his teenage sons) might not.
And even if the Jets want Rodgers, he might not want to return to a place that has been characterized by leaks. With the latest one being a direct shot at Rodgers.
If Aaron Rodgers returns to the New York Jets, it could have major implications for wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Wilson, who is projected to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, may reconsider his future with the team if Rodgers becomes the starting quarterback.
Rodgers, a future Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion, would undoubtedly bring a level of credibility and success to the Jets that they have been lacking in recent years. This could be enticing for Wilson, who is looking to join a team with a strong quarterback presence and a chance to win.
However, if Rodgers were to join the Jets, it could also mean that Wilson would have to wait longer to see playing time and establish chemistry with the new quarterback. This uncertainty could lead Wilson to explore other options and potentially request a trade to a team where he can have an immediate impact.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to stay with the Jets or seek opportunities elsewhere will be up to Wilson. But if Rodgers does return to the Jets, it could certainly shake up the young receiver’s plans for the future.
