Aaron Rodgers considered long shot to return to Jets in 2025

The Jets have already begun the search for their new GM and HC. Owner Woody Johnson will lead the hiring process, as former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, former Vikings GM Rick Spielman and The 33rd Team “help identify and vet candidates in addition to coordinate interviews.” How Rodgers factors into those searches is yet to be determined.

Last Sunday, Rapoport reported that there was uncertainty surrounding Rodgers’ future with the club and that the QB would have to play far better down the stretch, beginning Sunday against Seattle, to have a place on the Jets’ roster in the future.

In his return from a torn Achilles, Rodgers has completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions in leading New York to a disappointing 3-8 record. Dealing with a number of injuries and decreased mobility, Rodgers has at times looked like a shell of himself. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said recently the Jets have no plans to shut him down for the season.

The veteran QB said this week that his future with the Jets and in the NFL is uncertain, but he would prefer to play in New York if he was to play in 2025.

“I think at this point I’m open to everything and attached to nothing,” Rodgers said. “It’s a good place to be.”
