Aaron Rodgers’ imminent departure from the New York Jets has its future in the NFL up in the air.
Rodgers played his best football down in the 2024 season, but New York won only five games when he returned from a torn Achilles injury. Fox Sports reported on Sunday that Jets told Rodgers they would move on from him – whether it’s a trade or a direct cut.

There would only be a few teams where Rodgers could realistically go and start. Pittsburgh Steelers are among the handfuls of teams that want a decision to make with their quarterback situation-they bring back Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, or do they turn their attention to the free agent market and go for someone like Rodgers?
Steelers Security Deshon Elliott made it clear that he doesn’t want rodgers in black and gold.

Elliott replied to an Instagram post that said Rodgers was a betting favorite to land in Pittsburgh.
“Leave his A- at the retirement home,” he wrote before apparently deleting it.
The NFL world made sure to screenshot the remark before it went away.
Rodgers have not yet said one way or the other that he will play one more season. He will be 42 years next December.
The 10-time Pro Bowler had 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdown passports and 11 interceptions in his lonely full season with Jets.
