Jets Stick with Struggling Aaron Rodgers Despite Growing Concerns

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich reaffirms Rodgers as the starter, but questions linger over his performance and future with the team.

Aaron Rodgers, now 41, has struggled with consistency this season, failing to deliver in key moments for the Jets' offense.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed Rodgers will remain the starting quarterback despite mounting criticism and speculation about a potential benching.
NFL insider Adam Schefter noted parallels between Rodgers' situation and Russell Wilson's 2023 benching, suggesting a change could still be possible if performance issues persist.
Rodgers' $112.5 million contract, which runs through 2025, complicates the Jets' decision-making, with financial risks tied to potential injuries or continued underperformance.
The Jets face a dilemma between honoring Rodgers' Hall of Fame legacy and addressing the team's current and future needs at quarterback.
