New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers to part ways, according to reports Aaron Rodgers’ brief and unsuccessful career with the New York Jets appears to be over, with multiple reports that the team and quarterback are parting ways.
Rodgers joined the Jets in the run-up to the 2023 season but his first campaign ended on the first drive of the first game of the season when he tore his achilles tendon.
The 41-year-old returned for 2024 but the Jets slumped to a 5-12 record, fired their head coach, were dogged by reports that the owner’s teenage son had a say in team decisions and missed the playoffs for a 14th successive season.
There had been speculation for some time that Rodgers would leave the Jets, with the quarterback and team both refusing to confirm the relationship would continue.
His struggles with the Jets have been in marked contrast to his career with the Green Bay Packers, where he won a Super Bowl and built a reputation as one of the most talented quarterbacks in NFL history.
