Aaron Rodgers Discusses His Jets Future

Despite having a difficult start to his career with the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers has stated that he intends to stay with the team for the foreseeable future.

The 41-year-old quarterback, who was dealt to the Jets from the Green Bay Packers in 2023, recently made renovations to his New Jersey house, indicating that he plans to stay in the area for several years to come.

An Achilles injury ended Rodgers’ first season with the Jets, and the squad is currently struggling in 2024 with a 3-9 record. With their most recent defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13, they extended the NFL’s longest active run to nine straight losing seasons.

Nevertheless, Rodgers has stayed committed to achieving his objective of guiding the Jets to a successful season despite these obstacles. He stated: “I just redid my house here in Jersey,” “My goal was to play a few more years here. We’ll see. I’d like to be healthy, I’d like to end on my feet. I’d like to play well and feel like I’m wanted back.” “If not, I will not be offended, I won’t be upset. I’ll be so thankful either way whatever happens here.” 

Aaron Rodgers responds to speculation that he is leaving the Jets

During his appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers clarified recent rumors that he would move down from New York. “I have never said that I want to leave the Jets,” he explained.

On the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers stated: “I haven’t told anybody in my life, ‘I want to play in 2025 and not in the Jets.’ That’s 100 percent false. I actually said the opposite. I’m going to wait and see what happens at the end of the season and if they want me back,”

Despite the team’s difficulties, Rodgers had nothing but good things to say about his time in New York. He said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time in New York,” “Obviously, we haven’t had the success we’ve all wanted, but I’ve made some great friendships in the team… I came here to win here, so I’m not jumping off ship like, ‘I definitely want to play and not in New York.’ New York would be my first option.”

Rodgers is still committed to changing the Jets’ fortunes as they get ready to play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Despite the difficulties, his commitment to New York is evident, and he intends to keep improving on his time with the Jets.
