Jets officially announce decision to move on former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers-HN

What was reported on Sunday is now official via the New York Jets: former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not be returning to the Jets for the 2025 season.

The team announced the decision to move on from Rodgers in a press release on Thursday, ending the two-year relationship that began when the Packers traded the future Hall of Famer to New York in 2023.

A trade or release is forthcoming.

As Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst did following the 2022 season, new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey will move away from Rodgers and turn the page at quarterback in 2025.

“Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” said Glenn and Mougey in the release. “It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization and wish him success moving forward.”

The Packers traded Rodgers to the Jets for several draft picks before the 2023 draft, setting the stage for 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love to take over at quarterback. Green Bay has made the postseason each of the last two seasons since the trade despite having the youngest roster in the NFL in a quick post-Rodgers rebuild.

Rodgers, who turns 41 in December, missed all but four snaps in 2023 after suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon injury and then led the Jets to a 5-12 season after returning in 2024.

Rodgers completed 63.0 percent of his passes, averaged 6.7 yards per attempt and finished with a 90.5 passer rating. He threw 28 touchdown passes and only 11 interceptions, but the Jets struggled early, leading to the dismissal of coach Robert Saleh, and eventually finished 24th in scoring.

Rodgers still hasn’t made an official announcement on whether or not he wants to continue playing in the NFL. He has played 20 NFL seasons — 18 for the Packers and now two for the Jets.
