Aaron Rodgers’ future is in limbo after a subpar first full season in the Big Apple. The New York Jets finished with a 5-12 record with him under center, and they replaced their head coach and general manager.
Rodgers still has one year left on his current contract with the New York Jets. However, if the team plans a full-scale rebuild, the former four-time league MVP may not be in their long-term plans.
If Rodgers hangs it up or gets released this offseason, the New York Jets will face a $49 million cap hit.
It is believed that newly minted head coach Aaron Glenn is reportedly open to working with Aaron Rodgers, but the front office seems noncommittal.

Former Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said that if it were up to him, Aaron Rodgers would play out his final contract year with the New York Jets, based on what he has seen from him in the 2024 campaign.
“I’d love to see him come back. I tuned into the Jets more than ever this year to see what he was able to do,” Matthews told Fox News Digital. “Obviously, there was a lot of excitement, and with the playmakers they had, the trade for Davante Adams. Being an armchair quarterback, you look at ownership, GM is fired, head coach is fired, but you wonder if he’s a part of it. I’d love to see him play as a fan.”
“He’s still got it. Father Time is catching up, but you give him some protection and some playcalling, playmakers around him, I think he can still get it done,” he added.
