When I said I thought the offseason New York Jets hype train was going to come to a halting stop - I didn't mean it like this. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with what appeared to be a leg injury in the team's first possession. Rodgers was led to the medical tent, where he was later carted to the locker room to have X-rays. He was given a questionable designation to return to game action before the team ruled him out in the second quarter. X-rays were negative. The original fear is that Rodgers has an Achilles injury.
Saleh also stated postgame QB Zach Wilson will be "the guy" moving forward. I'd still expect them to bring in another veteran QB. Joe Flacco anyone?

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis left practice on Thursday and did not return. Levis is dealing with a lower body injury, and his status for this weekend's preseason game is up in the air.
Malik Willis is already expected to start preseason Week Two. Head coach Mike Vrabel said they will see where he's at come Saturday.

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:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QBs Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are both listed as QB1 on the team's first depth chart.
Head coach Todd Bowles said each QB will start a preseason game. "Whoever starts this game, the other one will start the next game and get the same amount of reps."

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is still practicing on a limited basis (for now), but he's already catching the eye of quarterback Lamar Jackson. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jackson said Beckham is looking like his old self, regardless if he has yet to ramp things up to full speed. Jackson and Beckham plan to work out together this summer before training camp, as well.
On top of having new weapons like Beckham to work with in 2023, Jackson also has the task of learning a new offense under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Monken's offense consists of a more pass-happy offense, raising questions of if it's something Jackson can handle (no one can argue the fact that Jackson's best weapon is his legs). Monken seems to think there isn't anything to worry about - stating, "there's not a throw he can't make."

Tom Brady is once again reiterating that he does not intend to return to playing football. Rumors about his return will swirl forever, but recently resurfaced because of his involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders. I won't believe it until I see it, personally.

The New York Jets are clearly excited about having QB Aaron Rodgers on their side, including WR Garrett Wilson. "I'd be lying if I said we add someone of Aaron Rodgers' pedigree and the expectation doesn't go up a little bit."

After what feels like years, the Green Bay Packers finally traded future Hall of Fame QB Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets on Monday. The Packers get in return:
The main holdup for this trade appears to be the compensation - the Packers wanted to make sure they got a sizable haul for Rodgers, while the Jets wanted to make sure they didn't put their organization into the hole should Rodgers only choose to play one season in New York. It seems like a win for both sides, as of right now. Rodgers gets a young roster to work with, plus a challenging coaching staff and a change of scenery (and a chance to pull a Tom Brady and win a Super Bowl on another team). More Qb news:
The San Francisco 49ers have been taking calls from teams asking about QB Trey Lance. While that's as far as the process goes, teams calling about his availability before the draft is significant. Brock Purdy is likely to be the starter whenever he is fully recovered from his elbow injury that he sustained in the NFC Championship Game. The Niners also have QB Sam Darnold on the roster. Two intriguing landing spots for Lance could be the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, as he's familiar with Titans GM Ran Carthon and Titans head coach DeMeco Ryans.
A report states the Minnesota Vikings were one of the teams to speak to Lance at this year's scouting combine. There were also rumors swirling around that time about a potential Kirk Cousins trade, so this may be something to keep an eye on.

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:
