Jets’ refusal to get Aaron Rodgers $20 million insurance leaves fans outraged: “Woody Johnson does not care”

Aaron Rodgers was acquired by the New York Jets this off-season after making a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers.

Many viewed the Jets as a playoff team and a potential Super Bowl candidate with Rodgers as quarterback. Owner Woody Johnson said Rodgers was the 'missing piece' for the Jets to win a Super Bowl.

However, Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in the first game of the season, playing just four total snaps.

A report has surfaced on social media that the Jets refused to sign Rodgers to an injury insurance which could cost the team up to $20 million. They were offered multiple injury insurance policies but declined all of them.

While not having Aaron Rodgers under an insurance policy could cost him up to $20 million, Woody Johnson likely isn't stressing about the situation.

According to caclubindia.com, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $6 billion. He is the owner of the New York Jets, and a former ambassador of the US to the United Kingdom. He is also a descendent of one of three brothers who founded Johnson & Johnson.

Johnson purchased the Jets in 2000 and has been a co-owner with his brother, Christopher.

Rodgers is reportedly recovering faster than expected and could possibly return later in the year if the Jets were to somehow make a playoff run.
