Aaron Rodgers’ Jets Career Over: New York Moves On From Veteran QB

Aaron Rodgers’ time as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets has officially come to an end.

NFL on Fox Insider Jay Glazer broke the shocking news on Sunday, February 9, revealing that the Jets have decided to part ways with the 41-year-old quarterback.

Jets Inform Rodgers They’re Moving On

According to Glazer, Rodgers flew back to New Jersey last week to meet with the Jets and discuss his future. However, the organization made it clear that they were moving in a different direction.

“Big scoopage: Aaron Rodgers flew back to New Jersey last week to meet with the Jets about his future with the team, only to be told that the team was moving on from him,” Glazer reported.

Rodgers is expected to be designated as a post-June 1 release, meaning he will officially hit the open market on March 12, 2025, if he chooses to continue playing.

What’s Next for Rodgers?

Rodgers’ second year with the Jets in 2024 was his first full season on the field after his 2023 campaign ended in Week 1 due to a torn Achilles. However, injuries still plagued him throughout the year.

Despite suiting up for all 17 games, Rodgers finished with:
✅ 3,897 passing yards
✅ 63% completion percentage
✅ 28 touchdowns
✅ 11 interceptions

With the Jets moving on, all signs point to Rodgers continuing his NFL career elsewhere in 2025.

A New Era for the Jets

The Jets’ decision marks the end of an era and signals a fresh start for the franchise. While it’s unclear who will take over as their next starting quarterback, the team is likely exploring NFL Draft options or potential free-agent signings.
