The New York Jets made the biggest move of the offseason by acquiring future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers.
Rodgers, a former Super Bowl champion and four-time NFL MVP, is expected to rejuvenate a Jets franchise that hasn't been to the playoffs since 2010.
Unfortunately for the Jets, it looks like they're already dealing with some Rodgers drama. And it's not a good thing for the Packers.
According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, Rodgers was seen at New York's OTAs on Tuesday favoring his ankle. Russini tweeted that something was "clearly not right" with Rodgers.
SNY's Connor Hughes followed up on Russini's report and noted that Rodgers didn't appear to be limping and looked to be favoring his side.
Rodgers turns 40 in December so it's inevitable that he's going to have to deal with some nagging injuries here and there — the human body doesn't recover quite the same at 39/40 as it does at 29/30.
Packers fans, however, need to hope that Rodgers doesn't suffer any significant injuries that force him to miss a large chunk of time. That's because Rodgers needs to play 65 percent of the Jets' snaps in 2023 for the conditional second-round pick that was sent to the Packers by New York to turn into a first-round pick.
Fortunately for Green Bay (and the Jets), it's early in the offseason and it doesn't appear that Rodgers suffered a major injury during OTAs. But his health is something that the Packers will be monitoring all season as they hope to maximize their return from the trade with the Jets.
