Aaron Rodgers and the Jets: Low Floor, Low Ceiling

NFL Offseason - By (finally) acquiring Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets just traded one 10-win season for having no first-round pick and no quarterback in 2024.

That’s not the catastrophist scenario, the pessimist scenario or the smart-aleck scenario. That’s the most likely scenario.

The sportsbook over-under for Jets victories in 2023 remains at 9.5, where it has been since the Rodgers negotiations started. Ten wins is reasonable. You can talk us into 11 wins. Good luck talking anyone but Fireman Ed into 12 or more wins, in a tough division in a brutal conference.
