The coach says he'd be shocked if Rodgers ends his playing career this way, but he hasn't had any conversations along those lines with him.
Aaron Rodgers' season is over. There's also some doubt as to whether his career might be, too."I haven't gone down that road with him," the coach said Wednesday. "I mean, I'd be shocked if this is the way he's going to go out. But at the same time, for him, he's working through a whole lot of head space, things that he needs to deal with.
His trade to New York from Green Bay in April raised expectations for a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs in 12 years, to the point there were high hopes for a run at a Super Bowl. Now, Rodgers won't be able to contribute on the field the rest of this season, but the Jets hope he'll still help the team end its postseason drought by staying connected to his teammates and coaches.
Saleh and the Jets insist Wilson has improved since last season, and in large part because of his time the past several months with Rodgers.
