Overview

• Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were released by the New York Jets in April 2025 under the team's new leadership, signaling a shift in franchise direction.
• Rodgers described his meeting with Jets coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey as disrespectful, with Glenn abruptly stating they were moving on at quarterback.
• Adams initially doubted Rodgers' account of the meeting but later realized there was no chance either of them would return to the Jets.
• Adams quickly signed a two-year, $46 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams after his release, turning down a lower offer from the 49ers.
• Rodgers remains a free agent, with the Pittsburgh Steelers emerging as a potential destination just days before the NFL Draft.
