Jets Rumors: QB Tim Boyle Agrees to 1-Year Contract amid Aaron Rodgers Trade Buzz

The New York Jets signed a former Green Bay Packers quarterback Thursday, just not the one everyone's been expecting.

The organization is bringing in Tim Boyle, who played last season with the Chicago Bears, on a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Boyle, 28, previously spent three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, serving mostly as a backup to Aaron Rodgers, who has come out and said that his intention is to play for the Jets next season.

Boyle's time in Green Bay also coincided with Nathaniel Hackett's tenure as offensive coordinator. He will be serving in the same capacity in New York.

Since going undrafted out of Eastern Kentucky in 2018, Boyle has three starts under his belt, all of which came during his lone season with the Detroit Lions in 2021. He went 0-3 over that span throwing for 526 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions.

Outside of that season, he only has 12 pass attempts over the rest of his career.

His time with the Jets will be his first time out of the NFC North division, where he has played for three different organizations, the longest stint came with the Packers.

Boyle now joins a quarterback room that includes former No. 2 pick Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler. Wilson is expected to be the primary backup if the team is able to acquire Rodgers, according to coach Robert Saleh.
