Maybe the New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers aren’t headed for a messy cut up.
New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is reportedly weighing his choices and should retain the four-time MVP in 2025.
“Aaron Glenn, to my understanding, is open to it,” NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport mentioned Sunday on “NFL GameDay.” “Rodgers as properly. Anticipate these conversations to ramp up within the coming weeks.”
Rodgers, in the meantime, hasn’t revealed whether or not he’ll retire. The QB sounded unsure about his future after the Jets’ regular-season finale towards the Miami Dolphins.
If Rodgers decides to play, his future with the Jets nonetheless appears murky. This season, New York went 5-12 and missed the playoffs for a 14th straight season.
In 17 begins, Rodgers accomplished 63% of his passes for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Whereas these aren’t horrible numbers, it would not seem to be the 41-year-old remains to be an elite passer.
It is also value noting he suffered an Achilles harm in 2023, which may proceed to have an effect on his mobility.
However the Jets might not have a greater choice than Rodgers. New York backup QB Tyrod Taylor has a 28-28-1 beginning document in 14 seasons.
New York has the No. 7 decide within the 2025 NFL Draft, however the QB class is not thought of deep. Tankathon’s newest three-round mock draft would not have the Jets taking an offensive signal-caller.
Transferring on from Rodgers would not be low-cost, both. Per Spotrac, New York would incur $49M in lifeless cap in 2025 and 2026 if it traded or launched him with a post-June 1 designation.
Glenn in all probability realizes his decisions are restricted, which can be why he is not closing the door on Rodgers.
