Aaron Rodgers' long-term future with the New York Jets may not be his decision.
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reported that while Rodgers may not even desire to return to the Jets, team owner Woody Johnson likely will not even "want" the 40-year-old back with the team in 2025 unless his play significantly improves.
"At this point, Rodgers likely won't want to return to this situation anyway, with owner Woody Johnson cleaning house, firing Douglas, and likely moving on from Ulbrich and Hackett, Rodgers' close friend. Johnson — who suggested benching Rodgers after a Week 4 loss to the Broncos, according to sources — isn't expected to want Rodgers back in 2025 anyway, though certainly things can change if Rodgers' play improves over the final six weeks of the season.
