Aaron Rodgers fined $11,255 ahead of finale of Jets’ abysmal season

The 2024 season has been a rough one for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. After a promising start to the season with high hopes of making a playoff run, the Jets have fallen far short of expectations. This disappointing season has been marred by injuries, poor quarterback play, and costly mistakes.

In 2023, Rodgers suffered a ruptured Achilles on the fourth play of the season. Despite this setback, the team managed to stay mathematically alive for the playoffs late in December and finished with a 7-10 record. However, this season has been even worse, with the Jets currently sitting at a dismal 4-12 heading into their final game.

To add insult to injury, Rodgers was recently fined $11,255 for a late hit against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. The hit came after Rodgers threw a pick and was flagged by the officials. It’s been a roller coaster season for Rodgers, who has shown flashes of his former MVP self but has also looked like a 41-year-old quarterback coming off a serious injury.

The Jets have struggled on both sides of the ball, with last week’s game against the Bills being a prime example. Trailing 42-0 at one point, the team managed to score two late touchdowns after Tyrod Taylor replaced Rodgers in the fourth quarter. Despite the late-game spark, it was too little, too late for the struggling Jets.

As the season comes to a close, the Jets are now in search of a new head coach and general manager to turn the team’s fortunes around. They will face the Miami Dolphins in their final game of the season, hoping to end on a high note despite the disappointments of the year.

Overall, it’s been a season to forget for the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers. With changes on the horizon, fans can only hope for a brighter future for the team in the seasons to come.
