Rodgers is coming off a challenging comeback year. In 2023, his first season with the Jets, he suffered a torn left Achilles tendon just four plays into the season opener, sidelining him for the rest of the year. This season, his numbers have been below his usual standards, ranking 23rd in the NFL with an 86.8 passer rating. His completion percentage stands at 62.4%, with 2,258 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. These figures reflect some of the lowest stats in terms of completion percentage, yards per attempt, and touchdown rate of his two-decade career.
Despite the team’s disappointing 3-7 record, Rodgers remains unfazed about his future. He stressed that the team’s struggles haven’t negatively influenced his outlook, reinforcing his competitive drive to meet the high standards he sets for himself.
Rodgers is under contract with the Jets for another season, which includes a $2.5 million base salary and a $35 million option bonus. His return could be pivotal for the Jets, who started the season with high expectations but have struggled to live up to them.
