Aaron Rodgers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

ESPN's Adam Schefter believes that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to be a post-June 1 cut by the Jets, would be thrilled by the idea of going to the Los Angeles Rams to play for head coach Sean McVay. However, for that to even be a possibility, the Rams and current QB Matthew Stafford would have to fail to work out a contract restructure for 2025 and then trade him to another team. L.A. would probably be able to sign Rodgers for a lower cost than what they'd have to pay Stafford, but that's assuming McVay and the Rams' front office would even want a 41-year-old aging QB that is probably heading into the final year of his career. Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023 and threw for 3,897 yards, 28 TDs and 11 interceptions in a disappointing 2024 campaign for the Jets. There's no guarantee he'll be any better if he plays at all in 2025 for a different organization.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers told new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey that it was his tentative plan to play again in 2025, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. Rodgers gave the Jets the impression that he had unfinished business to take care of after a disappointing 2024 campaign in which the Jets missed the playoffs. The Jets have already decided to turn the page on the Rodgers era, though, and he's expected to be designated as a post-June 1 cut. The Jets believe Rodgers still has gas left in the tank, but he will have to join another organization this offseason to play one more season in the NFL. It remains to be seen if any teams will want Rodgers, but his best option could be joining up with new head coach Pete Carroll in Las Vegas with the Raiders. The Los Angeles Rams could be another option if they trade Matthew Stafford.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the New York Jets have officially informed quarterback Aaron Rodgers that they are moving in another direction, and he'll be a free agent. This was the expectation for Rodgers after the Jets brought in a new general manager and head coach following a disappointing 2024 season in which the team once again missed the playoffs. The 41-year-old tore his Achilles in Week 1 of the 2023 season and finished 2024 with 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games and failed to ignite the offense like the Jets thought he would when they initially signed him. The four-time MVP and future Hall of Famer was willing to stay with the Jets for another season, but now that they are moving on, it remains to be seen if he'll want to continue playing. If he does, several teams could be interested in a one-year deal for Rodgers to serve as a bridge QB.
