The New York Jets stink. Their offense stinks. Their defense stinks. Their coaching stinks. And their record shows it, as the team that began the season with Super Bowl hopes now finds itself at 4-11 with just two games to go in the 2024 campaign.
Despite their terrible season, Aaron Rodgers was in the giving mood as reports indicate that he — as many other highly-paid quarterbacks in the National Football League do — hooked his offensive linemen up with a litany of flashy Christmas gifts.
According to ESPN’s Jets beat reporter Rich Cimini, Rodgers copped his offensive line custom Tom Ford suits, Tom Ford cologne and sunglasses, a Louis Vuitton passport holder, a bottle of Devils River bourbon, and “a stereo.”
Each of the #Jets offensive linemen received several gifts from Aaron Rodgers this Christmas, per @RichCimini: 🎅
– A custom Tom Ford suit (a tailor twice came to the facility to take measurements)
– Tom Ford cologne
– Tom Ford sunglasses
– Louis Vuitton passport holder
– Stereo… pic.twitter.com/Rme3xFNd9T— Harrison Glaser (@NYJetsTFMedia) December 26, 2024
Luckily for the Jets’ linemen, Rodgers didn’t include any selected readings in his gift bags, which could’ve included titles such as How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us about Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence or The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, the latter of which was written by his buddy RFK Jr.
In their final two games of the 2024 season — which will see the moribund Woody Johnson-owned franchise extend its playoff drought to 14 years, the longest active drought in the four major American sports leagues — Rodgers and Gang Green will take on the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills.
At this time, Rodgers’ status for the 2025 season is uncertain, although it seems likely that if he does decide to play next year, it won’t be with the New York Jets, who are headed for a full rebuild with a new general manager and head coach.
