The New York Jets offensive line has been up-and-down throughout training camp, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to see some consistency. At 39, the less hits Rodgers takes week-to-week, the better.
The Jets have been practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and had some trouble all day Wednesday, per reports.
It's still August, so it's not time to panic yet, but if this issue isn't fixed come September, we could see an even more angrier Rodgers if he finds himself in the turf frequently. more qb news:

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray continues to work his way back from a torn ACL. While it appears he will miss time at the beginning of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon isn't giving a more specific timeline on when he'll be back.
Murray had ACL reconstruction surgery in January.
As the Cardinals face an "Are We Rebuilding?" year, Murray is under a lot of pressure to perform up to the contract he signed. It's just a matter of when he'll be returning. His replacement will likely be backup QB Colt McCoy, but rookie Clayton Tune has been turning heads in training camp this summer. more qb news:
The Detroit Lions signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday.
Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit. Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa. more qb news:
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields believes he is one of the greatest running QBs in all of NFL history. He named Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, and himself.
There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. I'd rather my favorite QB think he was the best over being like, "Well, let me list x amount of guys who are better than me."
Fields ran for just under 1150 yards last season - the second-most for a QB in history (Jackson had 1206 in 2019). And you could argue that he may have broken Jackson's record had he played in Week 17. But, I think Fields is putting himself there a little early, but it's also fine for him to be a little cocky. It's my favorite QB trait. more qb news:
Jalen Hurts has had a whirlwind couple of months. A Super Bowl appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles, a contract extension, and now a Master's degree from Oklahoma. Hurts earned a degree in human relations last Friday.
Finishing a master's degree while being in the NFL (and getting to a Super Bowl) is some type of level most of us can't begin to imagine.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018. Now, two out of three of the quarterbacks on that roster are free agents. Carson Wentz has been looking for a new home since his release from the Washington Commanders, and Nick Foles was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.
Both Wentz and Foles could find new teams as backups closer to camp, as teams like to have a good veteran presence heading into the summer.
Or, do they walk away? Foles said recently he is unsure about his future in the NFL after his release from Indy. "Shoot, almost every year of my career I've almost retired. Every offseason, I think, 'Do I still want to play? Do I still want to keep going?' Specifically this last year with everything." more qb news:
The (very) long process has finally come to an end. Lamar Jackson signed his contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday afternoon.

I swear if Tom Brady plays in 2023... When asked if he would come out of retirement and play for the Miami Dolphins, Brady didn't say no. In fact, he didn't answer the question at all.
Rumors of Brady to the Dolphins have circulated for years - from the Sean Payton fiasco before he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to him, here, saying he has friends on the Dolphins. Brady has insisted he is retired for real this time, but there's always going to be some doubt, considering he un-retired before. There's no way to tell how Brady will feel once training camp rolls around. And then once the season begins. And then when he's not playing in the postseason and competing for a Super Bowl. Please, Tom, let's not. more Qb news:
The first of the quarterback extensions has dropped. The Philadelphia Eagles signed QB Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million extension to kick off the week.
The Eagles were adamant that getting an extension done for Hurts was a priority this offseason. It comes at the perfect time, as Hurts is heading into his final year of his rookie contract.
The extension includes $179.304 million in guarantees, a no-trade clause, and up to $15 million in additional incentives. On the heels of a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP-caliber season, it'll be interesting to see how Hurts rebounds in 2023. With a strong core on the roster, the Eagles are set up for success with Hurts. I talk more about Hurts' deal and what it means for the other QBs in line for an extension in Monday's Patreon episode. more QB news:
The Carolina Panthers are wrapping up their private visits with the top 2023 quarterback prospects. Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis will visit with the team next week.
The Panthers have also met with Florida's Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young from Alabama and have attended all of the top prospects' Pro Days. Carolina will have their choie of quarterbacks with the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in two weeks. Young is currently the favorite, but we all know it's #lyingseason. more qb news:
