The never-ending saga that is Aaron Rodgers is already getting set to have another chapter before the 2024 season even ends.
The New York Jets quarterback firmly denies expressing preferences about where he might suit up for the 2025 NFL season.
While he is unsure if he’ll be back for another year, Rodgers said he would love to play for the Jets in 2025.

“As far as my future goes, I haven’t told anybody in my life that I want to play in 2025 and not on the Jets,” he started his statement on the Pat McAfee show.
“That is 100% false,” Aaron Rodgers stated as he dove into rumors of him saying he was done with the Jets after this year.

Rodgers continued: “I actually said the opposite. I said I’m gonna wait and see what happens at the end of the season,” as he mentioned what happens with the staff as well as with the GM when he stated how the team had already fired Joe Douglas.
Rodgers did say that “playing in New York would obviously be my first choice if I want to play.”
The Aaron Rodgers era in New York has yielded all of three victories in its two years. After firing Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas, the Jets are expected to move on from their two-year quarterback.
Should they make that decision, it is not obviously clear who they plan to have in place for the 2025 season.
Aaron Rodgers Has Actually Been Somewhat Stellar The Past Few Weeks As The Team Continues To Rack Up Losses
Aaron Rodgers hasn’t tossed an interception in the team’s last four games, yet the team has only won one of those games.
The New York Jets suffered their worst loss, falling to the New England Patriots, 25-22. Rodgers threw for 233 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the day.
The following week, Rodgers completed 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards and three second-half scoring passes as New York defeated the Houston Texans.
The Arizona Cardinals blew out the New York Jets 31-6 in a game where Aaron Rodgers only threw for 151 yards.
On the following week before their bye week, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 29 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-27 loss to the Colts.
Rodgers may be a problem with his regression, but the Jets have so many more issues to figure out.
