MMQB: Glenn, Mougey's Stance on Aaron Rodgers Decision Revealed amid Jets Rumors

Aaron Rodgers' future with the New York Jets gained a little more clarity on Monday.

Head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey's view on Rodgers' long-term outlook in New York during the interview process with the team was revealed by Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

"Both Glenn and Mougey said when interviewing that they weren't going to look at handling Aaron Rodgers's situation in a black-and-white way, rather saying it needed evaluation and discussion," Breer wrote on Monday. "All that stuff, both with Rodgers and among themselves, can start now."

The Jets hired Glenn, the former defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, on Wednesday before agreeing to terms with Mougey on Saturday. Mougey previously served as the Denver Broncos' assistant general manager.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer previously revealed that he had a conversation with Glenn, as the new head coach planned to meet with Rodgers and come up with a decision regarding his future "much sooner than later."

The Jets could be looking for a new option under center after finishing with a 5-12 record in 2024, but it'll be costly to move on from the four-time MVP. If Rodgers is cut or retires before the 2025 season, the Jets will have a $49 million "dead" charge, representing an accumulation of pro-rated bonuses from prior years (h/t ESPN's Rich Cimini).

The 41-year-old's Pro Bowl days may be behind him, but he was still a serviceable option compared to New York's other quarterbacks over the past decade. In 17 starts, Rodgers completed 63 percent of his throws for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions.

Following the Jets' final game of the regular season, the signal-caller confirmed that he'd make a decision with the team "before it gets too late in the offseason."

With both Glenn and Mougey now officially hired, they can commence with evaluating Rodgers' outlook in New York.
