Aaron Rodgers ‘long shot’ to return to Jets in 2025: report
As the New York Jets head into the final stretch of the 2024 season, fans may be witnessing the end of an era with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Reports have surfaced suggesting that it is unlikely Rodgers will return to the team in 2025, making these last six games potentially his final appearances in the green and white.
Rodgers, who is experiencing one of the worst seasons of his career, has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency. With only 2,442 passing yards, 17 touchdown passes, and seven interceptions, the quarterback’s future with the Jets is uncertain. The NFL Network reported that Rodgers’ $35 million option bonus for the 2025 season may be a deciding factor in whether he stays with the team or not.
During the team’s bye week, rumors swirled about Rodgers’ intentions for the future. In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers addressed speculation that he was considering playing elsewhere next season. He clarified that he has not made any decisions yet and that New York would be his first choice if he were to continue playing.
Despite the challenges he has faced this season, including battling injuries from a previous Achilles tear, Rodgers expressed his fondness for the Jets organization, his teammates, and the fans. He emphasized that he came to New York with the intention of winning and is not ready to give up on that goal just yet.
As Rodgers navigates the final games of the season and evaluates his future in the NFL, fans will be watching closely to see what the star quarterback decides. Whether he stays with the Jets or moves on to a new team, one thing is certain – Aaron Rodgers has left a lasting impact on the franchise and its fans.
