The New York Jets may have all the pieces in place, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it’s an absolutely brutal year to play in their division. Josh Allen is going to push them in Buffalo. Tyreek Hill and company are going to push the Jets when they travel to Miami. And of course, Bill Belichick has a tendency of beating New York. Rodgers, however, will keep them in legitimate contention in 2023. They will win the games they’re supposed to win, which is more than you can usually say for the Jets.
