FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Happy Aaron Rodgers Day. Yes, the New York Jets still celebrate the future Hall of Fame quarterback's arrival.
On the one-year anniversary of the biggest trade in franchise history, team officials still see plenty of upside even though they have yet to see any on-field results after a left Achilles injury ended Rodgers' season on their first offensive drive.
"We don't have a second-round pick this year, and if I had the choice of having the second-round pick and not having Aaron, I would take Aaron 15 times out of 10," general manager Joe Douglas said.
