Failing to liven up the playoffs, Aaron Rodgers will have livened up the end of the Jets season with his statements.
In mid-November he thought he would continue in 2025. At the end of November he no longer knew.
That hasn't really changed, as he explained Wednesday on ESPN. We will therefore have to wait to make our decision.
“ I'm going to take some time to think after the season, unless I get cut straight away. But whatever happens, I'm going to take some time to figure out if I want to play or not“, he explained. “But whatever happens, I’m going to take some time to disconnect.” »
If the Jets decide to keep him, they will obviously be his first option.
“There are a lot of reasons why this is a great opportunity, but I'm going to see what happens. A lot can still happen. You need to hire a general manager and a coach. And then see if I'm part of the plans or not. Whatever happens, I'm going to take my time and think about my future. »
Rodgers would even be open to the idea of lowering his salary. In particular, he must receive a bonus of $35 million in 2025.
“ I am open to everything. »
“Ready to be a full-on mentor”
The point of having Rodgers on the roster could be to see him hatch a quarterback of the future. He still has to want it.
Apparently, yes. While remaining competitive.
“If the Jets ask me to come back and they draft a guy, I'll be a full-on mentor if I play, and I'll try to play the best I can to keep him on the bench. »
That’s what he did with Jordan Love in Green Bay. After Love was selected in 2020, Rodgers responded with a season crowned with an MVP title.
