Jets ready to move on from Aaron Rodgers as they leave door open for QB change after falling to 3-9 with loss to Seahawks
Aaron Rodgers is unsure if he will play in 2025, and many NFL players believe he has little chance of rejoining the New York Jets.
However, after Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, which brought New York to 3-9 on the season, both Rodgers and interim coach Jeff Ulbrich left the door open for change, raising the possibility that the quarterback won’t even end 2024 as Gang Green’s starter.
Ulbrich was evasive when asked after the game if the Jets were thinking about benching Rodgers.
“Not as of today,” he said, via The Athletic.
Rodgers was equally vague when asked if he expects the Jets to make a change.
“Yeah, I don’t know,” he said. “We’ll figure that out when we have those conversations.”
Rodgers, who turns 41 on Monday, threw two touchdowns and one interception Sunday, but finished with only 185 yards, completing just 53.8% of his throws.
Afterward, Seahawks defender Leonard Williams suggested to reporters the aging quarterback “doesn’t want to take big hits … anymore.”
Rodgers recently denied a report by The Athletic indicating he’s already eager for a fresh start for another team, but was noncommittal about his playing future, admitting the Jets’ future hires at head coach and general manager will likely determine whether he returns for a third season in New York
