After acquiring Aaron Rodgers in 2023, the New York Jets made an all-out effort to surround him with familiar faces. Allen Lazard, Billy Turner, Randall Cobb, Malik Taylor, Tim Boyle, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett all followed Rodgers from Wisconsin to New Jersey.
Every single one of those additions was a failure. You would think the Jets might learn their lesson and steer clear of allowing Rodgers to recruit his buddies again in 2024, but there are no indications he plans to relinquish his role as the quasi-assistant general manager. It should be expected that Rodgers will continue influencing the Jets’ roster decisions until proven otherwise.
