Aaron Rodgers gives surprise hints on HUGE NY Jets return for 2025 as decision hinges on 3 moments following Woody Johnson’s backing
Aaron Rodgers has confirmed his NFL retirement decision will not be reached until three things happen over the coming weeks.
Rodgers, 41, is still under contract with the New York Jets but has flirted with the idea of calling time on his glittering career this year.
The veteran quarterback has just completed a difficult campaign in New York, recording 12 losses to miss the postseason.
The Jets are set to rebuild their team this offseason, with a new general manager and head coach arriving.
Rodgers appeared on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Thursday to provide an update on his future and will not make a decision until a new GM and HC is in place.
Rodgers is also waiting until after the Super Bowl, meaning three things must happen before a decision is reached. “The season is not technically over,” said the four-time NFL MVP. “I always feel like the season is over once the Super Bowl is over and then everything resets, everybody is 0-0 again, and there’s a chance for everybody to reset.
“There’s obviously moving pieces in New York. There’s been a number of job interviews for GM and for head coach. There’s even more names being released everyday that the team is looking at. But I’ve had limited communication with them.”
Rodgers was then pressed on a recent meeting with team owner Woody Johnson. He said: “The meeting about Woody was more about, you know, the team’s future and different things. I think everybody understands that it’s going to come down to GM and coach and myself, and whether we all want to do a dance together or it’s not on the cards.”
Rodgers is one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history. The 10-time Pro Bowler spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers and inspired them to victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Super Bowl XLV, winning the game’s MVP award.
Rodgers made even more history in his most recent NFL game for the Jets, becoming just the fifth player to record 500 regular season passing touchdowns after Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539), and Brett Favre (508).
But apart from that, it’s been a tough going in New York for Rodgers. He joined the Jets ahead of the 2023 season but missed the rest of the campaign after suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1. Rodgers then failed to lead the team to a winning record this term
