The fear of being sidelined is so real. And for a veteran player, the pressure to stay in the game is huge. The New York Jets just can’t catch a break this season. They’ve done everything in their power to win games, or you could say, to please someone ‘specific.’ From firing coaches to playing favorites with players like Aaron Rodgers, they’ve taken on more trouble than they can handle. Now there’s another controversy buzzing in town.

The drama about Aaron Rodgers possibly getting benched started to cool off, and he caught himself in a bind again. This time, the word is that Rodgers is avoiding scans to keep himself from being sidelined. If it’s true, someone needs to tell him not to do that because he’s only risking himself in the long run.

For the 40-year-old, who came back from a serious Achilles injury, the pressure to keep going must be intense. The Jets haven’t said anything yet, but if these accusations are true, it’s just gonna add more drama to a team that’s already dealing with enough. As reported by Ian Rapoport on X, “Sources say he’s resisted getting scans done”

The whole Jets drama started when owner Woody Johnson fired the team’s head coach, Robert Saleh. It was a big blow, as they fired Saleh in the middle of the season, just five games in. And right after that, Johnson fired the team’s general manager, Joe Douglas. That had the NFL world in a chokehold. Firing people all over the place in the middle of the season? That’s pretty brutal. Around that time, people started calling out the Jets for making moves just to please Rodgers. Rumor has it, that the QB played a big part in Robert Saleh getting fired.

But after the team’s terrible performance, rumors started swirling that Woody Johnson was going to bench Aaron Rodgers. With all the benching drama, more stuff started to unfold. The latest is analysts saying that Rodgers has some serious injuries but is hiding them just to stay on the field. The QB suffered an Achilles injury last year and a hamstring injury this season. And that’s what analysts are calling out, that Rodgers is possibly dealing with multiple injuries. And it’s pretty evident from the way he is playing.

The way this whole situation has played out is not what Jets fans, their management, or Rodgers himself would’ve expected.

Aaron Rodgers has disappointed the Jets fans

When Aaron Rodgers joined the Jets in 2023, fans were hopeful that he would help the team bring home a Super Bowl win. But the QB suffered an injury four snaps in. Doctors soon confirmed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon. After that, they sidelined him for the rest of the season, totally crushing Jets fans’ hopes. But people keep holding on to hope. So, Jets fans kicked off the new season with fresh hopes, cheering for Gang Green.

But the Jets couldn’t do much this season either. With only 3 wins in their column, it’s not what their fans hoped for. Instead of seeing the team win on the field, all we got this season were constant losses, management drama, firing coaches, and benched players. To top it off, now there are some pretty serious accusations against star QB Aaron Rodgers.

Now, with him not letting the medical team run a few scans, fans must be feeling let down. If it’s the Jets management backing him up in resisting, they’re messing it up, honestly. It’s about time Woody Johnson sorts things out with his team.
