Rodgers has struggled this season, as he enters the Jets' bye week with a career-low 88.9 passer rating and 17 touchdown passes in 11 games. New York ranks 18th in the NFL with 207.2 passing yards per game and 26th in the league with an average of just 18.5 points per contest.

Jets owner Woody Johnson appears ready to take his organization in a new direction, having recently handed pink slips to head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. Rodgers, having arrived in New York due in large part to Saleh and Douglas' recruiting methods, has struggled to recreate the MVP form of his past.
