An in-depth report by The Athletic, based on conversations with 30 sources within the New York Jets organization, has revealed a tumultuous Aaron Rodgers era marked by internal chaos and dysfunction. The investigation highlighted a range of issues, including a culture of excuse-making, a paranoid head coach in Robert Saleh, an overwhelmed offensive coordinator, and organizational tunnel vision focused on Rodgers, who alienated some teammates. The report also shed light on the deteriorating relationship between Rodgers and Zach Wilson, as well as Saleh's extreme measures to prevent leaks by threatening to take coaches' phones. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was described as lacking in 'attention to detail', contributing to the Jets' 2023 season, described as 'a f—ing mess' by sources, which has led to calls for significant changes within the organization.
