Jets Coach Reveals Offense Will Be 'Hunting' Under Tanner Engstrand
Jets Coach Reveals Offense Will Be 'Hunting' Under Tanner Engstrand originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets' offense last season left a lot to be desired, and now, with a new player and coaching staff, things are changing. Advertisement Tanner Engstrand is in as offensive coordinator, with Justin Fields leading his unit, which has some question marks over it, especially at the receiver position. Only Garrett Wilson as the main target, with Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard behind him, isn't considered a top trio, but there is one thing the Jets have in their favor. Breece Hall and Braelon Allen as a one-two punch out of the backfield is a nice thing to have, plus an offensive line that is considered one of the more talented units in football. Still, what the Jets want to do overall on offense was a little bit of a now. Advertisement Passing game coordinator Scott Turner gave a little insight into what to expect in 2025. "It's going to be a physical system," Turner said via ESPN. "We're going to run the football, we're going to be aggressive up front and try to chase explosive plays [in the passing game]. ... That's what we're going to be hunting." Justin Fields And The JetsBy Tony Fisher With Hall, Allen, and Fields as running threats, it does make sense to be a run-first offense, particularly with the offensive line the Jets have. It is up to Engstrand to bring that vision to life, and he has the pieces to do so. The offseason looms as a key foundational building phase for the Jets under head coach Aaron Glenn, and the offense is likely to be the one that makes headlines, for better or worse, in 2025. Advertisement And now, we know how Engstrand wants his unit to play in 2025, with Hall and Allen being the key figureheads in getting this thing off the ground.

Major Aaron Rodgers Announcement Released on Saturday
Major Aaron Rodgers Announcement Released on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Finally, the Pittsburgh Steelers have found a starting quarterback for 2025 - though that fact isn't the end of the questions, but rather, just the beginning of them. Advertisement On Saturday, Aaron Rodgers made it official with a one-year deal. Rodgers had long been seen a match for the Steelers especially since Russell Wilson (Giants) and Justin Fields (Jets) were allowed to move. Someday, Rodgers is going to Canton. But on this day? He has passed his physical (at age 41, that's newsworthy) and he has official signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal - it includes $10 million guaranteed and can be worth up to $19.5 million with incentives - with plans to attend the upcoming mandatory minicamp. The announcement from the Steelers is notable in many regards, including this one: His deal is similar to what Wilson will make with the Giants, where he inked a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Giants and can make up to $21 million in incentives. Advertisement Now Rodgers just needs to be better than Wilson was here. A lot better. With the Jets, Rodgers had a mediocre 2024 season as he completed just 63 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. By passer rating, it was the worst (starting season of his career). By quarterback rating, it was his second-worst mark. And the Jets finished 5-12 under his "leadership.'' For right now, he is an upgrade over Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard. And he's a headline-grabber, for what that's worth. In Pittsburgh, the veteran quarterback will wear No. 8 (no, not Terry Bradshaw's No. 12, which Rodgers wore in Green Bay). No. 8 is what he wore during his two seasons with the Jets. Advertisement So, some questions answered. But many more to come. Related: 'Chew Bark And Whisper To The Gods!'

How Much Are the Steelers Paying Aaron Rodgers?
How Much Are the Steelers Paying Aaron Rodgers? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At long last, the Pittsburgh Steelers have found a starting quarterback. On Thursday, Aaron Rodgers put pen to paper on a one-year deal, signing up for a farewell tour of the AFC North. Rodgers had long been a match for the Steelers since the crop of quarterbacks flew off the board. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are starting in East Rutherford, Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Sam Darnold found a new home with the Seattle Seahawks. Advertisement After three months on the open market, Rodgers has his final football home before his immortality in Canton. ESPN revealed the contract details for the Steelers' new quarterback. 'The long-awaited quarterback signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal after passing a physical at the team facility Saturday morning, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter,' Brooke Pryor wrote. 'The deal includes $10 million guaranteed and can be worth up to $19.5 million with incentives.' That's awfully similar to what Wilson will make with the New York Giants. Last year's starter signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Giants and can make up to $21 million in incentives. Advertisement It isn't immediately clear what Rodgers must do to earn those incentives, although they will likely be tied to last year's performance or playoff success. With the Jets, Rodgers had a rocky 2024 season. He completed just 63 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. By passer rating, it was the worst (starting season of his career). By quarterback rating, it was his second-worst mark. It goes without saying that, at 41 years old, Rodgers is a quarterback in decline. He made a successful recovery from his 2023 Achilles tear, but the injury left its imprint on his game, impacting his lower half, mobility, and velocity. Still, he projects to be an easy upgrade over Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard, who inhabited the room before his signing. Rodgers makes the Steelers more credible, even if he doesn't move the needle on their championship odds. Advertisement In Pittsburgh, the veteran quarterback will wear No. 8, which he wore during his two seasons with the Jets.
