The firing of well-respected head coach Robert Saleh has done nothing to fix the Jets, who have lost five in a row following a 2-1 start.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the Jets just acquired Davante Adams in a desperate attempt to save their season. But do you think Rodgers is keen on finishing his career with a dysfunctional franchise? And does owner Woody Johnson really want to run it back with a 41-year-old QB next year, when he can eye a new QB in the 2025 NFL Daft?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The New York Jets record through 8 games the last two seasons<\/p>\n<p>2023 with Zach Wilson: 4-4<\/p>\n<p>2024 with Aaron Rodgers: 2-6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/czJLReqIBs\">pic.twitter.com\/czJLReqIBs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lakeshow \ud83d\udc0d (@_lakeshowcooked) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_lakeshowcooked\/status\/1850639817786454374?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just imagine that Rodgers and the Jets quickly agree to a divorce.
