I don’t think money matters. They can work their way around the cap. The issue is if Rodgers can be a team player and leader, plus if he can get along with Wilson. That’s my problem with him returning. Yeah, if he can get on board with the new vision, I guess it could work. He would also have to stay healthy, which he hasn’t been able to do for 3 straight seasons.
He WAS good at that. There's a limit to how many times you can override your OC's gameplan without there being some friction. Too many delay of game flags because the wrong personnel packages were on the field. Rodgers changed a lot of plays that Downing/Hackett called which resulted in pretty decent stats. What happens if and when Rodgers starts to go into "Legend" mode and does his own thing? Will Glenn get in his ass or do like Saleh and excuse it. How much control will the Legend have is the overriding question. Probably one that kept more qualified candidates from even considering the Jets especially with Woody Dumbfck still meddling.
He's a garbage human being but OK, not everyone is a saint--we just want to win--but he's a horrible teammate. Do you want another season of going on the Tank Top Show and blaming everyone when he's supposed to be the leader? He also wastes the talent of G. Wilson by not being able to throw more than 15 yards.
The interesting part about the Rodgers debate is that if the Jets open up the season 2-0 or 3-0 next year all the negativity goes away instantly. I dont blame people for having a bad stench but it was the best QB play since Fitzpatrick in 2015. Replicate it on a team with a real head coach, a kicker that can make fgs, and a defense that can get a stop and the Jets are probably on there way to the playoffs.
