New York Jets' Struggles Lead to Leadership Changes

The New York Jets' 2024 season has been marred by dysfunction, culminating in the firing of general manager Joe Douglas and ongoing scrutiny of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose performance has declined significantly. At 3-8, the team is facing yet another disappointing year with owner Woody Johnson's management decisions under fire, particularly his impulsive firing of coach Robert Saleh after just five games. Reports suggest that many within the organization are hesitant to acknowledge that Rodgers is no longer performing at an elite level, which has led to speculation about his future with the team. Although Rodgers has completed 63.4% of his passes this season, his inability to throw downfield and recurring injury issues have raised concerns about his effectiveness. Former Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason has indicated that Rodgers might be dealing with a leg injury, further complicating the Jets' offensive struggles. As the Jets prepare for their bye week, questions loom over whether Rodgers will be able to regain his form and help turn the season around.
