The New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have officially ended their partnership. Despite high expectations and Rodgers' arrival in 2023, a catastrophic Achilles injury in his debut hampered his performance. Although Rodgers was fit to play this season, the Jets struggled with a 5-12 record. Both the team and Rodgers acknowledged the decision to move forward separately.
The 41-year-old Rodgers, a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player, had said he would decide before free agency in March on whether he’ll play in 2025.Advertisement “Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey said in a joint statement.
“It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organisation and wish him success moving forward.” Rodgers, who established himself as an elite NFL player with the Green Bay Packers, signed with the Jets before the 2023 season but suffered a catastrophic Achilles tendon injury just four snaps into his debut with the team.Despite the team’s troubles, Jets owner Woody Johnson praised Rodgers.
“I personally want to thank Aaron for his time at the New York Jets. His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career. “From day one, he embodied all that it meant to be a New York Jet, embraced our fans, and immersed himself in our city. That is what I will remember most when I look back at his time here. He will always be welcome, and I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next.”
