New York Jets Part Ways with Aaron Rodgers

The New York Jets have decided to part ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as confirmed by NFL insider Jay Glazer. This decision is attributed not only to Rodgers' performance but also to the financial implications of his contract, as the Jets aim to avoid significant dead money in the future. Rodgers met with team officials last week, where he was informed of the team's direction, leading to expectations that he will be designated as a post-June 1 release, allowing him to enter free agency by March 12, 2025. Despite a challenging season, where he completed 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, the Jets are now focused on finding a new starting quarterback. This marks a significant shift for the franchise as they look to rebuild. All indications suggest that Rodgers will continue his NFL career with another team in 2025.
