The New York Jets, as expected after the Aaron Rodgers trade in April, will be the featured team for HBO’s Hard Knocks show. Fans had strong reactions after the announcement became official Wednesday morning.
The filming will start next week. (The Jets start their training camp a week earlier than most teams, as they’ll play in the Hall of Fame preseason game.)
The Jets didn’t want the attention. But they better get used to the spotlight in the media all season with Rodgers under center. Many fans will be intrigued to see Rodgers getting along with a new team with a great chance of making a playoff run this season.

Overheard in deciding which team:
“Aren’t people tired of following Aaron Rodgers?”
“No, they just say that. They can’t get enough of him.”
“Brilliant.” https://t.co/142OAt8bJI— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) July 12, 2023
I’d bet this provides motivation to speed up the Quinnen negotiations. They don’t want that lingering into camp as a storyline. https://t.co/9HqUndQVAa

This will be amazing content but most likely turn the team into a circus. 2010 Jets hard knocks ended in an AFC championship though. https://t.co/nNhU2DSHpH
