Amos, signed by the Jets in June following a season-ending injury to safety Chuck Clark, played about a third of the defensive snaps. Expected to contribute to a veteran defensive group in a playoff push, Amos, now 30, is seeking a Super Bowl opportunity. With the Jets’ season taking a downturn after Aaron Rodgers’ injury, Amos will go through waivers and could potentially be a cost-effective option for teams in need of safety assistance.
Among the former Packers players who joined the Jets alongside Rodgers, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb have faced challenges. Lazard, who signed a $44 million deal in the offseason, was a healthy scratch in the previous week, indicating struggles to impress the coaching staff. Cobb has been largely unnoticed, and Amos didn’t play a significant role. Jets fans are now realizing what Packers fans experienced last year, questioning Rodgers’ effectiveness as a general manager and the need to move on from certain players.
Despite Amos being one of the more successful former Packers in New York, the overall performance of these players raises concerns. With the Packers facing weaknesses at safety, there’s speculation about the potential return of Amos. However, the current safety lineup, including Rudy Ford, Jonathan Owens, and Anthony Johnson Jr., has held its own. While it seems unlikely for Amos to return to Green Bay, many hope he finds a team where he can contribute to a Super Bowl run. Recognized for his contributions during his time with the Packers, Amos deserves a chance at a title.
