The NFL has entered its offseason, but the players’ association has caused quite a stir. Recently, the union released report cards for all franchises, revealing some surprising outcomes. Although the New York Jets seem to be in a decent position, their coaching staff received an abysmal grade, causing concern among fans. This has led to some speaking out, particularly given the speculation surrounding four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Jets.
Ever since Robert Saleh’s admittance to the lookout for a veteran QB, Rodgers’ name came up in the first place. The QB1 is in a dilemma with the Green Bay Packers and is yet to decide about his playing career.

Amidst the Rodgers to Jets speculations, the NFLPA dropped their first-ever team reports that grade several aspects of the franchise. The AFC East franchise ranked 19th on the team details. However, the Jets’ coaching staff got ranked in the last position. The players responding to the reports claimed the franchise is not “efficient with their time.”

The Aaron Rodgers speculations could be impacted by the alarming reports. Furthermore, fans were abuzz with discussions about the particulars and how they might influence their search for a new quarterback.
One user said, “There was nothing in the grading that addressed the coaching.”
There was nothing in the grading that addressed the coaching. Only the Strength/Conditioning & Training coaches.
The part on coaches & efficiency wasn't backed up with any data & I question the validity of it. Where is this alleged coaching ranking that has the Jets last?

Another user wondered if the Jets’ coaches are bad just because they work hard.
So Jets coaches are bad because they work hard? I'm confused.
Didn't Parcells and other HOF coaches talk about how long they worked?— Peter Dragon (@ThePeterDragon) March 4, 2023
This user wanted to know about their methodology.
Curious about the methodology here. They had just cleaned house for two years. We’re only current players of a team allowed to rate the teams? Any player who had ever played on a team? Current players all rave about the coaching (except the fired OC) in the public eye.

While the Jets look like a frontrunner, another franchise is emerging to get hold of Rodgers.
Is an NFC franchise in the run for A-Rod?
If Aaron Rodgers chose to continue playing, it would be a likely chance to see him set off in a trade. Some quarterback deficit teams may need some veteran help. Apart from the Jets, the NFC’s Carolina Panthers have reportedly been in talks with the Packers, per Dov Kleiman.

However, as soon as the claims rose, they seemingly fell. FOX Charlotte reporter Will Kunkel refuted that the Panthers did not interact with Rodgers or the Packers for the QB’s services.
