The New York Jets continue to find ways to be at the forefront of NFL conversations.
There has been quarterback controversy over the past several weeks, as Zach Wilson was recently benched in favor of Tim Boyle.
While this seemed to be the biggest news surrounding the Jets, Aaron Rodgers has returned to the spotlight.
He has returned to practice in a limited capacity and appears adamant to return to the field this season.
While this idea has received mixed reviews from various analysts, Nick Wright recently fledged his support of this decision.
According to Wright via “First Things First,” he said, “I believe Aaron Rodgers. He’s given me no reason not to believe him.”
“I don’t know why you guys are so skeptical about Aaron Rodgers. … I expect to see him play football this year. I believe Aaron Rodgers. He’s given me no reason not to believe him.”

Wright believes Rodgers will return to play, which continues to be a point of contention.
Many have wondered why Rodgers wants to return this year, primarily if the Jets are eliminated from the playoffs.
They have a 4-7 record and are in third place in the AFC East.
Their path to the postseason seems unlikely, especially with their current status at the QB position.
However, they do have a few upcoming matchups that are likely seen as winnable, which could change the entire narrative of this conversation.
Ultimately, Rodgers’ decision will be based on how he feels and how the Jets’ coaching staff believes he can perform.
The next few weeks should provide more clarity into this situation, what the future holds for Rodgers, and his potential role on the Jets moving forward in 2023 and beyond.
