Well bummer....

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news - but Aaron Rodgers still owns the Chicago Bears!

Torn Achilles for sure for A-A-Ron. May be the end of the line period for Rodgers.

I definitely feel bad for Jets fans. They are riding in the same boat as Browns fans in a lot of ways and to see the season likely go up in flames literally 4 plays into the season is downright cruel.

You just have to look up and.. And take solace in to the fact.. It just wasn't meant to be...

I've always admired him as a player tbh and sucks for him as I really think this could be the end of his career. One of those fluke things. Jets themselves are done, regardless of winning the game last night; Wilson is terrible.

Rodgers has been playing a heel for years and now he injured his Achilles... funny stuff

They will still be player if they can shore up their OT spots or gameplan around it. I was laughing when they are pushing for Brady- I’d be shocked if he came out of retirement to play behind two bookend turnstiles.

Their defense is great and they can run the ball and they have a true number 1 WR that was productive with the young scrub last year. You can win a fair share of games with those pieces. Teams like the Browns that can pressure from the edge - long night for the Jets.

It doesn't get any easier for the Jets offense - now they gotta face the Dallas defense that absolutely swarmed and suffocated the NY Giants passing game.

Sad because I kind of liked him coming out... Some guys just aren't for the big time...

Sorry to hear, he was one of the great ones I enjoyed watching.

Rodgers was a great player but was into conspiracy theories. I guess you could say it was his Achilles heel.

The AFC Playoffs just got more interesting.

NY Jets season will now be on such a very long one.

Canton Dawg

Now there’s talk that the NFLPA wants to do away with artificial turf.

The general consensus is that it would cause a player’s foot to slide, which was the cause of AR injury.

I have a better solution…get rid of the cleats.

I guess the only silver lining for the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets is that they now will not be sending the Packers a first round pick in next year's draft.

It will now be a second rounder.

I truly was rooting for Rodgers and the Jets,, kinda

I'm sorry, does laughing at these make me a bad person? ?

Sorry to see that. I don't like to see any player get injured, even Steelers.

At his age, he might have to hang them up.

This made me laugh!

In all seriousness, I hope he recovers quickly.

Yeah, I read somewhere the Jets wound up paying Rodgers around a million a second for his on field services. ?

That's thanks to the NFL's incredible revenue stream around $16 billion every year, no other professional sport is close. To put it in perspective, Novak Djokovic the certified GOAT of men's tennis has career earnings of $170 million. OK, I checked-there's nine NFL quarterbacks who have current contracts worth more than that.

The cost of doing business now. First a few then ALL of the better players want in on the deal. Sometimes the team wins and sometimes they end up rolling ......
