(New York, NY) — The New York Jets are moving on from 41 year old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The team announced they informed Rodgers last week that he was not in their future plans. The ten time Pro Bowler was traded to the Jets from the Packers in 2023 and tore his achilles tendon just minutes into his debut for the team.
Rodgers returned this past season and the Jets went five-and-12 with him at the helm.
The Jets will reset with a new QB, a new HC in Glenn, a new GM in Mougey, a new offensive coordinator in Tanner Engstrand and largely a new coaching staff. The Jets didn’t give a reason for the decision, saying only they met last week with Rodgers 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.
