Breaking News: Aaron Rodgers Release by Jets After Disappointing Season, Future Team Speculation Heats Up
In a significant move following the conclusion of the 2024 NFL season, the New York Jets have informed veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers that he will not be returning to the team for the 2025 season. This decision comes after a disappointing 5-12 record and the subsequent dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. The Jets have since appointed Aaron Glenn as the new head coach and Darren Mougey as the general manager, signaling a shift towards a long-term rebuilding strategy.
Rodgers, who joined the Jets before the 2023 season, had a challenging tenure in New York. His first season was cut short by a torn Achilles tendon suffered during the opening game. In the 2024 season, the team struggled, leading to internal conflicts and organizational changes. At 41 years old, Rodgers was set to earn $37.5 million for the 2025 season, and releasing him will result in a significant dead cap charge for the Jets.
As Rodgers enters free agency, speculation about his next destination has intensified. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the current favorites to sign him, with +200 odds. The Las Vegas Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers are also considered potential landing spots, with +300 and +350 odds, respectively.
While there is no official confirmation of Rodgers joining the Miami Dolphins, the possibility remains open as teams assess their quarterback options for the upcoming season. Rodgers’ future in the NFL is uncertain, and his next move is highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike.
