Not just those outside the organization criticized the New York Jets for their handling of the situation following Aaron Rodgers‘ season-ending injury.
As reported by Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna Russini of The Athletic, a Jets coach called the situation behind closed doors “such an f–king mess” and stated that “something has to change”.
“A paranoid head coach, an ill-equipped offensive coordinator, and an organizational tunnel vision on the quarterback that rubbed some teammates wrong” are just a few of the many problems the Jets will face in 2023, according to the article.
According to an AFC general manager, Aaron Rodgers is thought to be the one in charge of hiring decisions, and Joe Douglas serves as his “assistant GM”.

The Athletic spoke with 30 sources regarding the #Jets and it is not a good look for many, including head coach Robert Saleh who out of fear made a lot of brash decisions.

The fact that Rodgers was teammates with a number of the players the Jets signed in the offseason was no coincidence. Billy Turner, Tim Boyle, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb were brought in.
Following a catastrophic tenure as head coach of the Denver Broncos in 2022, Nathaniel Hackett, who served as offensive coordinator for Green Bay from 2019 to 2021, was hired by the Jets for the same position.
Despite all of these problems, Aaron Rodgers’ health will determine the outcome of the New York Jets in 2024. Based on his post-injury performance, it seems quite likely that he will be ready to play by Week 1.
