The race for the AFC East title must be very fascinating this season.
Many individuals really feel the Buffalo Payments, regardless of buying and selling away Professional Bowl large receiver Stefon Diggs and dropping WR2 Gabriel Davis this offseason, will nonetheless end first within the division due to the nice abilities of quarterback Josh Allen.
If that’s what transpires, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets shall be battling to say one of many AFC’s three wild-card playoff spots.
Some individuals assume the Jets can do one thing particular this 12 months, however former NFL working again Leroy Hoard wonders how a 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers will bounce again from a torn Achilles and construct chemistry with an offense he has barely gotten any reps with, per Zach Gelb.
“The team that I have the most questions about is the Jets,” Hoard stated.

Rodgers, in fact, was traded to the Jets from the Inexperienced Bay Packers final offseason amidst a number of fanfare and hype.
He joined a staff that had loads of expertise on either side of the soccer, solely to promptly tear his Achilles on the Jets’ first offensive sequence of the 2023 season.
Such an harm is devastating for any athlete, however it may be way more so for somebody resembling Rodgers, who has 15 years of damage and tear as a beginning quarterback on his physique.
If he’s nonetheless in a position to play at a excessive degree, nonetheless, New York must be very aggressive because of their large receiver duo of Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams, stud working again Breece Corridor and a loaded protection.
That situation might make the race for the AFC East title a livid one.
