The Green Bay Packers moved on from Aaron Rodgers at the perfect time for their franchise. The Packers had Jordan Love ready to take over for the franchise and a young electric roster around him. They’ve spent the 2024 off-season continuing to add talent and upgrading positions of weakness.
The New York Jets hope that getting a healthy Aaron Rodgers back for the start of the season will put to bed all the off-season shenanigans and get their team on the path to a Super Bowl.
However, there was one more off-the-field distraction for the Jets before we even get to training camp.
Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Losing Teammate To Illegal Charge

According to Ryan Gaydos of Fox Sports:
New York Jets cornerback Tae Hayes was arrested in Alabama early Sunday morning on a marijuana possession charge, officials said.
Hayes was booked into the Morgan County Jail and was released on $300 bond just after 5 a.m. local time. He was charged with second-degree marijuana possession, according to AL.com.
“We are aware of the situation, and we will refrain from further comment as it is a pending legal matter,” the Jets said in a statement to the New York Post.
Hayes was a standout defensive back at Appalachian State after playing high school football for Decatur in Alabama. He went undrafted in 2019 and started his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has bounced around on several rosters since then.
Hayes has been with the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens before signing with the Jets during the 2023 season.
The Jets Have Had Plenty Of Distractions This Off-Season

We now know where the line is drawn for Robert Saleh.
Ayahuasca retreat in the jungles of South America? That’s fine. Cosplaying as a “Lost Samurai” in Japan? That’s all right.
Possession of marijuana in Alabama as a misdemeanor? You’re done!
The Jets have been scrutinized for how they’ve handled many things this off-season.
