NFL Insider: 'Would Not Surprise Me' If Jets 'Turn the Page' on Aaron Rodgers Era

The New York Jets are under new leadership with head coach Aaron Glenn officially aboard and Denver Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey reportedly in the mix to become general manager, according to NFL insider Josina Anderson.

Now the question is how the team will handle the quarterback position. Aaron Rodgers has one year left on his deal, and it's conceivable that the 41-year-old either retires or the Jets part ways with him.

On the latest Scoop City podcast, The Athletic's Dianna Russini offered some thoughts (18:15 mark): "I don't know exactly what Aaron Glenn—how he feels about Aaron Rodgers. But, I can tell you that it would not surprise me if the Jets turn the page on Aaron Rodgers and move on."

New York brought Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, in with great fanfare in 2023, and expectations were sky-high. However, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles a few plays into his debut season and missed the remainder of the year.

He came back healthy in 2024, but the Jets went just 5-12 as dysfunction reigned all season and led to the midseason firings of both head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.

Rodgers certainly fared well statistically, accounting for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns (11 interceptions). But one can surmise that the Jets may want to have a fresh start here and move into a new era as New York looks to make the playoffs for the first time since 2010.

It's not abundantly clear who QB1 could be for the Jets in 2025, especially given that the team sits No. 7 overall and could very well miss out on Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders in the draft. But at this point, it seems questionable at best that Rodgers will be serving as the Jets' starting quarterback next year.
