Aaron Rodgers suffered a devastating Achilles injury on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. The now-healthy Damar Hamlin and millions of others looked on in shock as the New York Jets quarterback was taken to the blue medical tent and promptly carted away.
On "105.3 The Fan Cam", Dallas Cowboys general manager Jerry Jones addressed the potential for sending the Jets a bone in the form of a quarterback not named Dak Prescott.
“I can say that I can’t imagine what it would be (to make that type of trade), but the facts are that just as they do, we [might] need Rush [to] play, like we did last year.”
While the Cowboys have immense depth in the QB position (Trey Lance and Cooper Rush along with QB1 Dak Prescott), Jones is in no mood to make a trade to the Jets.
Aaron Rodgers' injury impacts his chances of supplanting Brett Favre
When the Rodgers trade went down earlier this year, fans and analysts began speculating about whether the quarterback could beat Brett Favre's highs with the team. Favre played for the Jets in 2008 after ending his time with the Green Bay Packers. He posted nine wins, along with 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions in 16 games that season.
With Rodgers expected to miss the entire season, he will have to wait until next year to try and match Favre's numbers.
Achilles injury risks moving up retirement talks
At this point, if Rodgers has snapped his Achilles, the New York Jets quarterback is likely to be out until well after he turns 40 years old in early December. With retirement on his mind even before the trade, the injury has essentially put him into March mindset in September.
Next season, he'll be 40 years old and while he does have a contract with the team through the 2024 season, the injury might be enough to force him to hang up his cleats. Of course, Rodgers' future is still in his control, but it's not outlandish to think that those four plays were his last in the NFL.
