News about Aaron Rodgers

Stephen A. Smith's affinity for Aaron Rodgers has been tested by the New York Jets' 2-5 start. But it was Sunday night's 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that may have finally brought the ESPN host's unflinching support to come to an end. 'This affects me,' Smith began slowly, as if he planned to use First Take's entire two-hour time slot on the subject. 'This hurts me to say. I have to say I've thought about it very deeply, and I got to tell ya, everybody knows how I feel about Aaron Rodgers. 'He has looked so bad, I've actually looked at the screen and found myself saying, 'It might be time for him to really retire,' Smith said, like a judge passing down a life sentence.

There have been many low points for the New York Jets over the years. The Butt Fumble and Bill Belichick's defection to the rival New England Patriots stand out, although anything after the team's Super Bowl III upset of the Baltimore Colts in 1969 deserves consideration. But while falling to 2-5 with Sunday night's 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers found a new way to crystalize the pain of Jets fans.

After the New York Jets suffered their fourth-straight defeat with a blowout at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers is taking more personal accountability than after last week's loss. Rodgers said he's 'got to play better' as New York's season seems to be slipping away. Sunday night's 37-15 loss was also the Jets' first game since they acquired Davante Adams and second contest since it fired former head coach Robert Saleh.

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams was back in practice and broke his silence on Friday after being called out by his quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, for what the 40-year-old believed to be a game-deciding mistake. The diss, combined with Tuesday's trade for Davante Adams, put Williams in a precarious position, only made worse that he skipped Wednesday and Thursday's practices due to 'personal reasons.' Williams appeared to make a crucial mistake in the dying seconds of the game against the Bills - when he ran the wrong route and slipped, leading to a costly interception that sealed a victory for Buffalo. 

Davante Adams was traded to the Jets this week - but he's admitted that Gang Green was not the only team on his wish list. The wide receiver, 31, wanted out of Las Vegas early into his third season with the Raiders, and got his wish as he was reunited with his close friend Aaron Rodgers in New York. But in appearance on FanDuel TV's Up and Adams with Kay Adams (no relation) on Thursday, the player shared that there were three other franchises he had interest in joining: the Bills, Steelers and Saints.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was slammed by a legendary former NFL quarterback for his poor leadership after he attacked a teammate in the press after a recent loss. Rodgers criticized Jets wide receiver Mike Williams and said his teammate ran an incorrect route that led to the game-clinching interception for the Buffalo Bills. Several former Jets quarterbacks have also spoken out against Rodgers' comments, believing he should have made the comments behind closed doors.

A star wide receiver for the New York Jets was not seen at practice on Wednesday due to 'personal reasons' as speculation around a possible trade heats up. Mike Williams - who is playing his first season with the Jets - did not participate in practice for what was disclosed as 'personal reasons'. According to ESPN reporter Rich Cimini, new Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich did not make any mention of Williams' absence.

Davante Adams' recent move to the New York Jets was seen as a weak move by a guest on Jason Whitlock's Fearless program, who came up with a crude moniker for the receiver. After a dramatic trade saga, Adams finally found his way out of the Las Vegas Raiders' grip to rejoin former teammate Aaron Rodgers in New York.

Aaron Rodgers doubled down on the blame game Tuesday as he continued to tear into teammate Mike Williams.  The New York Jets failed to get off to a winning start under new head coach Jeff Ulbrich Monday night, slipping to 2-4 with a 23-20 defeat to the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium. The quarterback attempted to pick out Mike Williams around 50 yards downfield with just under two minutes on the clock, only for the wide receiver to slip before Taron Johnson picked him off. Rodgers accused his teammates of 'giving the game away' following Monday's defeat - their third on the bounce - but Jets fans criticized the four-time MVP on social media, with many convinced he had a better option available in Breece Hall.

Aaron Rodgers has unveiled Davante Adams as a New York Jet live on The Pat McAfee show. After news of his trade from the Las Vegas Raiders broke on Tuesday, Adams, 31, made a shock appearance on the ESPN program with Rodgers, who stunned McAfee and his crew by slowly revealing his new teammate standing behind him at Jets HQ. 'What's up fellas?' the wide receiver said after McAfee congratulated him on the move to New York, before adding: 'Ay thank you man, I appreciate it.'

Aaron Rodgers sent Damar Hamlin a touching message after the Bills faced the Jets on Monday, 93 weeks after the Buffalo safety needed to be resuscitated on the field at MetLife Stadium.  Hamlin and Rodgers traded jerseys on the field after the Bills' 23-20 victory. Rodgers' threads gifted to Hamlin came with an added message.  'You're an inspiration to me and millions!' Rodgers stated to Hamlin. 'Much love, my brother!'

The New York Jets reported trade for Davante Adams is a sign owner Woody Johnson is going 'all in' on a plan for success that leaves Aaron Rodgers with no more excuses, claimed ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith.  Adams is reportedly set to reunite with good friend and former teammate Aaron Rodgers in New York in a bombshell trade that came less than 24 hours after the Jets' loss to the Buffalo Bills Monday night.  Adams' NFL future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months amid his desire to leave Las Vegas, where he spent the last two seasons, but after slipping to their fourth loss of the season, the Jets and owner Johnson wasted no time in pouncing on the wide receiver. 

The Las Vegas Raiders are finalizing a trade that will send Davante Adams to the New York Jets , according to reports. NFL insider Ian Rapoport claims Adams is on the verge of joining the Jets, which will reunite him with former teammate Aaron Rodgers. The wide receiver previously spent seven years with Rodgers in Green Bay.

Aaron Rodgers came out swinging at NFL referees Monday night after the New York Jets' loss to the Buffalo Bills.   The officiating crew, led by referee Adrian Hill, called 22 penalties during the game - tied for the most penalties called in any game this season. Adding insult to injury, the two teams combined for an outrageous 204 yards of penalties, with Rodgers' Jets being flagged 11 times for 110 yards in their first game without axed head coach Robert Saleh. 

Aaron Rodgers has been accused of making a crucial error of judgement in the dying minutes of the New York Jets ' defeat to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. The Jets failed to get off to a winning start under interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, who has taken temporary charge of the team after last week's firing of Robert Saleh. While they showed positive signs offensively, they still came off second best in a dramatic 23-20 loss to Buffalo at MetLife Stadium, which leaves them 2-4 for the season.

DANIEL MATTHEWS AT METLIFE STADIUM: A weather warning went out around Meadowlands on Monday afternoon. Fans were told to expect powerful winds. They were advised to look after their grills and hang on to their tents. They ought to have been warned: hold on to your hats, too. But who could have forecast this? Who could have predicted how this night would unfold? Who would have thought two stuttering offenses would produce such an electric first half that blew this way and that? Who would have thought - at halftime, with the game so brilliantly poised - that this would descend into a tedious festival of flags?

Aaron Rodgers accused the New York Jets of 'giving away' their game against the Bills due to 'terrible' failings on the field.

NFL fans were up in arms over an incredibly high number of penalty calls in Monday Night Football between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills. The officiating crew, led by referee Adrian Hill, called 22 penalties during the game - tied for the most penalties called in any game this season. Adding insult to injury, the two teams combined for an outrageous 204 yards of penalties - leading some to believe they were seeing Hill on their screens more than some of the players.

Down 20-10 with seconds to spare, Rodgers served up another long-distance pass to close the gap in the intermission. The Bills granted the veteran quarterback an abundance of space which allowed him to launch a 52-yarder to Allen Lazard. The wide receiver elevated over a sea of blue jerseys to make the catch, which sent social media into a frenzy.

A gambler is facing an epic decision after winning the first 14 events of a 15-leg parlay. Known as @MassoniBets on X, James Massoni has been identified as the lucky gambler who wagered $10 on the parlay at FanDuel Sportsbook and now has the chance to win $123,000. But for that to happen, the New York Jets (2-3) would need to upset Buffalo Bills (3-2) at MetLife Stadium on Monday night, where gang green is currently a +120 underdog.

The New York Jets team doctors have ruled on Aaron Rodgers' status for Monday night's game against the divisional-rival Buffalo Bills, the team announced Saturday.

TIM HOWARD: There is one obvious indicator that players have stopped listening to a coach: performances. Everyone will see levels drop - individually and collectively. But there are other signs that fans might never notice. Signs that the message has become stale. Signs that the players have begun to shut off. Signs that orders are not being received with the same vigor. When everyone on the same page, even the most basic instruction will spark a reaction: a fist pump, a rallying cry. When that physical reaction disappears, when a glazed look comes over a player's face, one thing becomes clear: it's over.

Former NFL star Ryan Clark has launched a brutal attack on Aaron Rodgers, branding the Jets quarterback a 'catfish' and insisting he cannot be compared to Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Rodgers is under the spotlight following the firing of Robert Saleh, who left New York this week after a miserable 2-3 start to the season.  The 40-year-old quarterback has so far failed to reverse the Jets' fortunes since his move from the Green Bay Packers last year.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have told the world that he had nothing to do with the firing of team head coach Robert Saleh, but Stephen A. Smith isn't having any of it. On Tuesday, Saleh was suddenly and unceremoniously sacked by Jets owner Woody Johnson. The following day, Rodgers went on The Pat McAfee Show to deny that he was the reason for Saleh's firing - calling him a 'damn good coach'.
