With Davante Adams and Allen Lazard likely on the way out as well, how things are shaping up on the Jets' cap sheet.

The Jets sent a package of draft picks to the Packers in April 2023 to acquire Rodgers. The hope was that the four-time MVP and future Hall of Famer could provide the franchise with a culture change and elevate the team out of its losing ways.

The decision not to bring back Rodgers takes a ton of pressure off Engstrand as he can run his offense the way he sees fit, gets to develop his own quarterback rather than alter his schemes around Rodgers and won’t have to worry about being undermined or overruled during games when it comes to certain play calls.
