Aaron Rodgers says Jets’ season finale vs. Dolphins could be his last NFL game
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, recently made a statement that Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins could potentially be his last in the NFL. Rodgers, who has been with the Jets for the past two seasons, was asked by reporters about the possibility of this game being his final one in the league.
In response to the question, Rodgers acknowledged that it was a possibility, stating, “Yeah, of course.” While he has not yet made a final decision about his future, Rodgers mentioned that he plans to make a decision before the start of free agency in March. Currently under contract with the Jets for next season, Rodgers is facing a $23 million cap hit. However, the Jets are in the process of hiring a new head coach and general manager after the previous regime was let go mid-season.
“I’m just more resigned to the reality of the situation,” Rodgers admitted, alluding to the changes expected within the organization. He expressed gratitude for his time with the Jets but acknowledged the potential for change in the near future.
Rodgers also mentioned that he anticipates the new coach and general manager to make a quick decision regarding his future with the team. He emphasized the importance of communication and transparency in the process.
Reflecting on his time with the Jets, Rodgers described the past two years as the best of his life. Despite the challenges and disappointments on the field, he highlighted the relationships and experiences he has had with the team and staff.
The season has been physically demanding for Rodgers, who recently became the most sacked quarterback in NFL history after being sacked four times in a game against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the setbacks, Rodgers remains thankful for the opportunity to play and is open to the possibility of returning for another season with the Jets.
As Rodgers contemplates his future in the NFL, fans and analysts await his decision with anticipation. Whether he chooses to continue playing or decides to retire, Rodgers’ impact on the game and his contributions to the Jets will be remembered and celebrated.
