The twilight of Aaron Rodgers’ NFL journey with the New York Jets appears to be approaching.
While one more game remains on his schedule, questions linger about what lies beyond this season.
Retirement looms as a possibility, and should he choose to continue playing, his options might be limited.
Despite the uncertainty, Rodgers harbors a deep appreciation for his time with the Jets.
As the team prepares for their Week 18 finale against the Dolphins, the four-time NFL MVP shared his thoughts on his tenure, expressing nothing but gratitude for the experience.
“It’s been the best two years of my life,” Rodgers reflected. “And that’s a perspective adjustment that happened at some point during the rehab process last year. Just the excitement of falling back in love with the game, getting to know these guys in here, getting to know the great men and women who work here, it’s been a lot of fun. Obviously, on the field has been short of expectations, no doubt. But this game is more than just that.”

While Rodgers describes his Jets tenure as the best two years of his life since joining in April 2023, the on-field reality tells a different story.
His season was cut devastatingly short by a torn Achilles, preventing him from meeting the sky-high expectations that accompanied his arrival.
His performance statistics in 2024 paint a sobering picture – ranking 25th among 33 quarterbacks in Total QBR, with 24 touchdowns against 10 interceptions.
This marks only the fourth instance in his illustrious career where his interceptions have reached double digits.
The Jets’ trajectory has mirrored Rodgers’ struggles. A team that entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations now finds itself grappling with a disappointing 4-12 record, far from the championship dreams that seemed within reach just months ago.
