The story of the 2023 summer was that quarterback Aaron Rodgers had been traded to the Jets. He had just finished 8-9 with the Packers but had a falling out with the franchise. Rodgers's move to the Jets felt like a wave of hope going to New York.
The season before saw New York roll out Zach Wilson, Mike White, and Joe Flacco in a 7-10 season. Even though they finished last in the AFC East for the third season in a row and in six of the past seven years, there was still plenty to look forward to. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner had taken home Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Running back Breece Hall was healthy after his torn ACL in 2022. The addition of Rodgers had fans and analysts alike saying that the Jets could win the AFC East and make a deep playoff run.
