The New York Jets may have cost themselves millions of dollars by opting not to get disability insurance of Aaron Rodgers' contract before the start of the season.
Per Daniel Libit and Eben Novy-Williams of Sportico, the Jets chose not to take out an insurance policy on Rodgers' deal in the event of injury despite being offered "multiple" policies.
Libit and Novy-Williams added this decision is "consistent" with the Jets' recent approach to contract insurance, but it's one that could "potentially cost the team $20 million-plus in insurance proceeds" after Rodgers' tore his Achilles in the first quarter of their season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
