The New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers appear to be parting ways after two seasons. Reports surfaced before Super Bowl LIX indicating the Jets informed the four-time MVP of their intention to move on, though the specifics of how this will occur – whether through a trade or release – remain unclear.

Rodgers' first season with the Jets was cut short by an Achilles tear in Week 1 of 2023. He returned for the entire 2024 season, but the team failed to reach the playoffs. Following the Jets' Week 18 victory against the Miami Dolphins, Rodgers acknowledged upcoming discussions about his future, stating the need for time to reflect on his playing career and his potential role with the Jets moving forward.

Newly appointed Jets head coach Aaron Glenn remained noncommittal about Rodgers' future when questioned during his introductory press conference, emphasizing the team's ongoing evaluation process. When asked about desired quarterback qualities, Glenn simply replied, "A winner."

The Jets currently hold the seventh overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
