Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, multiple reports emerged all saying the same thing— the New York Jets were done with Aaron Rodgers. Jay Glazer was first to report for Fox that the franchise intended to part ways with Rodgers this upcoming offseason as it enters a new era under head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey. On Thursday, the Jets made the news official, releasing statements from owner Woody Johnson alongside Glenn and Mougey thanking Rodgers and explaining the decision.
"I personally want to thank Aaron for his time at the New York Jets," Johnson said in his statement. "His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career. From day one, he embodied all that it meant to be a New York Jet, embraced our fans, and immersed himself in our city. That is what I will remember most when I look back at his time here. He will always be welcome, and I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next."
