The four-time MVP and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers was let go from the New York Jets after two years following an awful season. The Jets, who hoped Rodgers would answer their playoff drought questions, finished third in the AFC East following the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.
The 41-year-old is currently training in California, awaiting the start of the new league year and potentially joining a better team. Rodgers, in a recent video, admitted that he expects his team to want him and a talent pool to surround him. Will Rodgers get the same? Emmanuel Acho doesn’t think so.
In a recent episode of The Facility, Emmanuel Acho admitted that he doesn’t expect Aaron Rodgers to play for a good team. Acho undermined Rodgers and claimed that teams perform better without Rodgers in it as opposed to him playing for them.
A good team can’t want Aaron Rodgers, because teams are better as of late without Rodgers than they are with Aaron Rodgers.
Emmanuel Acho said
Emmanuel Acho also pointed out that the Green Bay Packers have been going solid since trading Rodgers two years ago. He went on to claim that the Jets were better before Rodgers joined.
Is there a correlation between the fact that the Packers are better and the Jets were better without Aaron Rodgers than they were with Aaron Rodgers. Or is it purely coincidence? Well, if an NFL season is roughly 17 games and I just showed you all a three-year sample size, we’re talking roughly 51 games in which games are better without Aaron Rodgers than they are with Aaron Rodgers I refuse to believe it’s coincidence. Now the question for me to chase: Is it causation?

Aaron Rodgers might have to settle somewhere in this offseason
NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic recently shared on the Scoop City podcast that teams Rodgers may want to join aren’t exactly eager to sign him as March approaches. “There’s no one team that I’m hearing that is, in the market, locked in on Rodgers,” she said, according to Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker.
While some have speculated that quarterback-needy teams like the Colts, Browns, or Steelers could pursue Rodgers, reporters covering those teams have dismissed the idea. Furthermore, current reports indicate that the Rams are likely to keep Matthew Stafford through at least 2025, therefore removing the Rams from the equation as well.
The Titans and Giants, both coming off rough 3-14 seasons, need a quarterback but are more focused on drafting young talent like Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders. The Vikings, for now, appear committed to 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy rather than considering Rodgers.
Rodgers, now 41, carries concerns about his age, his Achilles injury from 2023, and his underwhelming Jets stint. As it stands, no good team is in contention for him while it is even unknown whether any team might go for Rodgers in the first place.
