Analyst Says It’s “One Year Or Bust” for One Jets Player
The New York Jets are starting the season with very high hopes. Adding Aaron Rodgers to the roster has significantly boosted these expectations. However, some critics are not entirely satisfied with the quarterback’s actions.
"It's a one year or bust for the Jets. Aaron Rodgers needs to be there. It's a bad look for the team."

Rodgers faced criticism for missing the Jets’ minicamp without an official excuse. Reports suggested he was on vacation, and the Jets knew about this trip even before releasing their offseason schedule. Despite head coach Robert Saleh and the team downplaying the issue, some, including former Giants star WR Plaxico Burress, were displeased. On The Carton Show, Burress said it wasn’t a good look for the team and called it a “one-year-or-bust” situation for Rodgers.
In reality, this incident might be blown out of proportion. Rodgers had attended all voluntary workouts up to that point, including this offseason. His professionalism and work ethic have never been questioned, and he is expected to participate in training camp, the preseason, and beyond.
While it’s ideal to maximize practice time, especially with a new offensive line and other changes, it’s important to remember that Rodgers is a seasoned veteran. The Jets’ success largely hinges on his health.
As for the Super Bowl-or-bust expectations for the Jets, that assessment might be spot on.
