Aaron Rodgers 'long shot' to return to Jets in 2025: report
James Jones explains how Aaron Rodgers has some gas left in the tank after sharing on The Pat McAfee Show that he "does not know if he wants to play" next season.
The final six games of the New York Jets’ 2024 season could be the last time fans see Aaron Rodgers in the green and white.
Ahead of the Jets’ Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL Network reported that it was a "long shot" for Rodgers to return to the team in 2025.

Rodgers is in the midst of the worst season of his career. He has 2,442 passing yards, 17 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. It’s the second time in the last eight years he’s had at least seven interceptions in a single season. He had 12 in 2022 with the Green Bay Packers.
The report noted Rodgers’ $35 million option bonus for the 2025 season if the team decided to bring him back.
The star quarterback’s name had been in the rumor mill during the team’s bye week. He addressed reports he had already decided he wasn’t going to return to the Jets in an interview on "The Pat McAfee Show."
"I don’t even know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option," he said.
He also debunked reports that he wants to play elsewhere next season instead of with the Jets.
