Schefter: Jets to Release Aaron Rodgers Today

Adam Schefter has reported that the New York Jets are officially releasing Aaron Rodgers today. According to this tweet by Schefter, things break down this way.

Now official: Jets are releasing Aaron Rodgers after 4 pm today. The Jets will take on $49M in dead money by releasing Rodgers. He’s being designated as a post-June 1 cut, meaning they’ll carry his $21M cap hit until June 1, when it drops to $14M—saving $7M. But they then will absorb a $35M dead cap hit in 2026.
