New York Jets Part Ways with Quarterback Aaron Rodgers

The 41-year-old quarterback, signed in 2023, failed to lead the Jets to the playoffs and will not return for the next season.

The New York Jets announced they will no longer retain Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback, citing a desire to move in a different direction.
Rodgers, who joined the Jets in 2023 on a three-year, $112.5 million contract, struggled to meet expectations after recovering from an Achilles tendon injury.
Despite playing all 17 games last season, Rodgers and the Jets managed only five wins and missed the playoffs for the 14th consecutive year, the longest drought in major U.S. sports leagues.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey thanked Rodgers for his leadership and contributions, emphasizing the importance of clarity in planning for the future.
Rodgers, a four-time MVP and Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers, has not yet decided whether he will continue his NFL career.
