New York Jets: Dismissal? Aaron Rodgers comments

The New York Jets are in crisis and can start planning for the upcoming season before the end of this one. It is unclear whether Aaron Rodgers will still be starting quarterback next season. Now the veteran has commented on his Jets future.

Four wins in 15 games, a wave of layoffs and no chance of making the playoffs: the New York Jets’ season was disastrous, regardless of the results in the two remaining games.

The future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is also uncertain. Hailed as a savior, the veteran was unable to live up to the high expectations, especially at the beginning of the season.

On the “Pat McAfee Show,” the 41-year-old discussed his plans for the upcoming season; Rodgers is still contractually bound to the Jets next season. First, the former Packers quarterback wants to decide in general whether he wants to continue his career.

Rodgers wants to stay with the Jets

If Rodgers decides to play another NFL season, a new challenge could await him. “I think there’s a scenario where I get released in a few weeks because the Jets want to go a different way,” Rodgers said.

Injury Update: Jets fear for Aaron Rodgers

At the same time, there is also a world in which the Jets would plan with Rodgers. The veteran himself wants to stay with the Jets. He is willing to take a pay cut and, if necessary, take on a mentoring role for a young quarterback.

The favor of owner Woody Johnson is likely to be crucial for Rodgers’ future with the Jets. The 77-year-old has to fill both the head coach and general manager positions for the upcoming season.

Jets: Rodgers with a little dig

It is currently unclear whether he would like to give the new regime a fresh start without Rodgers or rely on the veteran.

Johnson has recently been criticized for, among other things, reportedly rejecting a player because his Madden rating was too low. In addition, his teenage sons are said to have a strong influence on his decisions.

Rodgers also took a slight dig at this. “It would be the first time I’ve been fired. It would certainly be the first time I’ve been fired by teenagers.”
