An NFL source has revealed to LandonBuford.com that Aaron Rodgers’ time with the New York Jets may come to an abrupt end as soon as Tuesday, which is a shocking development. Due to poor performance, injuries, and organizational turmoil, the veteran quarterback brought to New York in a blockbuster trade is now facing an uncertain future.

After the departure of head coach Robert Saleh on October 5 following Week 5 and general manager Joe Douglas on November 19 following Week 11, the Jets are now in disarray due to their departures. The team’s leadership is being replaced by owner Woody Johnson, who is reportedly reevaluating Rodgers’ role within the organization.

Rodgers’ Future in Doubt

While there has been no final decision, those familiar with Johnson’s thinking suggest that Rodgers is the one who should be considered

He will need to significantly improve his play during the final stretch of the season to have a chance to return in 2025. The quarterback, who turns 41 on December 2, is facing one of his most challenging seasons of his career.

The Jets currently hold a 3-8 record, and Rodgers’ performance has fallen well short of expectations. Rodgers responded to a question about his plans for next season on November 13,

“I think so, yeah,”when talking about his desire to continue playing. He may not have the power to decide whether he stays with the Jets anymore.

According to The Athletic, Johnson was frustrated by the team’s lack of progress and suggested benching Rodgers after losing to the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Despite his dissuasion, Johnson’s dissatisfaction with the team’s trajectory over the past two seasons is clear.

Financial Implications

Rodgers’ contract could also influence the Jets’ decision. He is owed over $38 million by the team for the 2025 season, which includes a $35 million roster bonus. The Jets have the option to part ways with Rodgers without a significant financial penalty, as the amount is not guaranteed. If the Jets choose to release Rodgers, they could reset under new leadership. In the event that the two sides separate, Rodgers could decide to retire or look for a fresh start with another team.

Injury Concerns

Rodgers’ disappointing season has been disrupted by a string of injuries, including issues with his hamstring, knee, and ankle. Rodgers has been reluctant to undergo scans to determine the severity of these injuries, fearing it would sideline him, according to sources. His struggles on the field have been evident despite playing through the pain.

According to reports, the hamstring injury he suffered while playing for the Broncos on September 29 was significant, but Rodgers assured everyone he was fine. “I’m playing,” he was reportedly told by team officials to downplay the severity of his condition.

Rodgers will have some much-needed time to heal this week as the Jets take a bye this week with six games remaining in the season. It is believed by sources that his performance in the remaining games could be crucial in determining his future with the franchise.

Rodgers’ situation is likely to have a major impact on the team’s future as the Jets search for a new head coach and general manager. According to one source that spoke with NFL.com, Rodgers returning next season would be a shocker’, which is fueling the speculation about his imminent release.

The next few weeks could mark a turning point for the franchise and the quarterback, regardless of whether Rodgers is moved on from the Jets or given one more chance. Woody Johnson’s vision for the Jets’ future is the focus of all attention at this time.
