Aaron Rodgers Says He Feared Career Was Over After Injury

Apr 11, 2024 10:01 AM

Aaron Rodgers has admitted that he worried his football career would be over when he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury on Sept. 11 of last year.

"I was really thinking, 'This is it. You don't come back from this injury,'" the 40-year-old quarterback said in a two-hour interview on the "I Can Fly" podcast.

His night began when he ran out with the American flag during the pregame introductions, which he called "one of the highest highs in my sporting career." Minutes later, on the New York Jets' first possession of the season, he was carted off with a season-ending injury.

"I had this incredible offseason experience in a new city, a new town, with new teammates, a new organization, an owner for the first time, and really falling back in love with the game that I first fell in love with when I was 5 years old," Rodgers said. "It was absolutely beautiful and special and deep and rich and yummy, and just incredible.

"And then, one of the most heartbreaking nights of my life, when I played four plays. Talk about an ego death."

Haason Reddick Won't Commit To Extension With Jets

Apr 4, 2024 9:22 AM

Despite landing with the New York Jets in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, Haason Reddick isn't committing to a new contract with his new team.

Only Reddick and Myles Garrett had 10+ sacks in each of the last four years.

Reddick is in the final year of a three-year deal he signed with the Eagles before the 2022 season. After the trade, it was presumed that Reddick would sign an extension with the Jets.

"You know, all options are open right now," he said. "Currently just worried about being here, meeting everybody that's in the building today, contractual stuff.

"I'm leaving that up to my age and and Joe [Jets general manager Joe Douglas] to figure out, you know, But whatever happens, I'm going to be happy."

Report: Jets Could Look To Trade Down In Draft

Apr 2, 2024 8:58 AM

The New York Jets currently hold the No. 10 pick in this month's NFL Draft.

According to a report, the Jets would like to field trade proposals from quarterback-needy teams behind them in the draft order.

New York could acquire another top-100 pick in such a trade to help them this season. The Jets only have two picks in the top-100 (No. 10 and No. 72) at the moment.

Jets Confident Mike Williams Will Be Ready Week 1

Apr 1, 2024 8:53 AM

The New York Jets are confident that Mike Williams will be on the field in Week 1.

"Mike, he's got a long way to go," coach Robert Saleh said. "He's on the same timeline that Breece (Hall) had. They're very similar injuries, same time frame. He knows he's got a road to trek, but at the same time, if he does it the right way, we're very confident we'll have him ready for Week 1."

Williams, 29, tore his ACL on Sept. 24. He said during his introductory press conference with the Jets that he expected to be ready for the start of the 2024 season.

Eagles Sending Haason Reddick To Jets For Pick

Mar 29, 2024 7:39 PM

Searching for an edge rusher in the wake of Bryce Huff's departure in free agency, the New York Jets acquired Haason Reddick in a trade Friday with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Jets will send a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles that improves to a 2026 second-rounder if Reddick reaches 67.5% play time and 10 sacks, the sources said. In 2023, Reddick recorded 11 sacks and 38 tackles in 17 games. He played 74% of the defensive snaps.

Jets Owner Calls Report On Argument With Head Coach 'Absolutely False'

Mar 28, 2024 5:51 PM

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson used social media Thursday to rebut a claim by an NFL Network host that he and coach Robert Saleh engaged in a "very heated conversation" earlier this week at the NFL's annual league meeting in Orlando, Florida.

"All this nonsense about a heated argument between Coach Saleh and me at the league meeting is absolutely false," Johnson said on X. "It is yet another irresponsible report from NFL Network. Please disregard."

It's unusual for Johnson, 76, to respond in this manner, but he evidently felt compelled after a comment by NFL Network's Colleen Wolfe gained traction late Wednesday.

Mike Williams, Jets Agree To One-Year, $15M Deal

Mar 19, 2024 10:21 PM

The New York Jets have agreed to sign Mike Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million.

Williams tore an ACL in Week 3 last season, causing him to miss the remainder of the year. In 2022, he missed four games plus the Chargers' playoff loss. But from 2018 to 2021, he missed only three games. 

The Chargers cut Williams after seven seasons because his cap charge was an inflated $32.5 million. 

His best year was 2021, when he set career highs for receptions (76) and receiving yards (1,146).
