According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed that his future with the Jets is dependent on the new general manager and head coach, not on owner Woody Johnson. The former four-time MVP winner spoke on the Pat McAfee Show earlier on Thursday and expressed how he discussed his future with the team during exit meetings. Rodgers said, "I think everybody understands that it's going to come down to a GM and a coach and myself and whether we all want to do a dance together or if it's not in the cards." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation, as Rodgers still has another year remaining on his contract with the Jets. After firing Robert Salah during the 2024 season, Jeff Ulbrich took over as the interim head coach. Following the end of the season, the Jets have had contact with several potential coaches, such as Ron Rivera, Aaron Glenn, and Brian Flores. During their GM search, they have spoken to Darren Mougey of the Broncos, Lance Newmark of the Commanders, and Trey Brown of the Bengals, among others. If Rodgers returns to the Jets, he would likely carry QB2 value, given his unstable production this past season.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of his 36 passes for 274 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Rodgers set a record by becoming just the fifth NFL quarterback to throw 500 touchdown passes in his career, joining Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre in the exclusive club. The veteran quarterback finishes his second season with the Jets with 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while appearing in all 17 of the team's games. It was a rocky season for Rodgers and a Jets team that had playoff aspirations in the preseason, only to fire head coach Robert Saleh in October and ultimately go 5-12 on the season. Rodgers is under contract for another season but the Jets could choose to part ways with the future Hall of Famer after the two sides appeared to have some issues throughout the season. After the game, Rodgers was not ready to state whether he would return for the 2025 season or retire. Stay tuned.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will wrap up his 2024 season with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Rodgers struggled mightily in his last game, throwing for just 112 yards and two interceptions in a loss to the Buffalo Bills. He will attempt to finish on a high note against a Miami defense that has been tough on opposing quarterbacks, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position this season. Rodgers said earlier in the week that Sunday's game could be his last, which gives some added luster to an otherwise uninspiring matchup. That being said, Rodgers settles in as a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes this weekend.
Jan 3, 2025 9:52 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers acknowledged that the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Miami Dolphins -- his 241st career start -- could be his last. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer said he'll decide before free agency in March whether to play another year in 2025. Rodgers is open to returning to the Jets next year if the new regime will have him, but that's unlikely to happen. He missed all of 2023 due to a torn Achilles and ranks 25th out of 33 qualified QBs in total QBR this year with 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while leading the Jets to a 4-12 record. Rodgers needs one TD to become the fifth player in NFL history with 500 TD passes, and he needs only 115 passing yards to pass Matt Ryan for seventh on the career list. The four-time MVP will be going for those milestones this Sunday and will be in play as a midrange QB2 in fantasy.
Jan 1, 2025 6:29 PM EST
New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich reiterated on Monday what he said following the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in Week 17: That the team plans to start quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. The Jets' season was over a while ago, but the Dolphins playoffs hopes are still alive heading into the final week of the regular season. The wheels fell off for Rodgers and the 4-12 Jets on Sunday against the Bills, with the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer looking checked out while going just 12-for-18 for 112 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 40-14 loss. He was pulled late in favor of journeyman Tyrod Taylor, but it looks like Rodgers will get one more start in what is expected to be his final game with Gang Green. From a big-picture perspective, Rodgers needs one more TD for 500 in his illustrious career.
Dec 30, 2024 12:14 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was replaced by Tyrod Taylor in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers finished with 112 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also took four sacks, including one for a safety. Interestingly, Taylor played significantly better in his two drives, completing 79 percent of his passes for 83 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Despite Taylor's promising fourth quarter, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told the media postgame that he expects Rodgers to remain the starter for Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins. Looking beyond next weekend, Rodgers' future with the Jets remains uncertain, and it's possible he will enter 2025 with a new team or even on the retirement list.
Dec 29, 2024 5:07 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) injured his knee but played the entire game in a Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite the injury, Rodgers practiced fully all week and is listed without an injury designation heading into Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Rodgers was solid when these two teams met earlier in the season, throwing for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He sets up as a low-end QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 17.
Dec 27, 2024 9:42 PM EST
According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) said that he "feels pretty good" and that he is "going to play" on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. The 41-year suffered what he deems an "MCL issue" during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback during practice. Rodgers was beginning to find his footing on what has been a disappointing season as he averaged a solid 26.0 PPR points during Weeks 14 and 15. However, on Sunday, Rodgers would score only 17.4 as he threw for just 256 yards and one score against the Rams. Given his inconsistently all season, fantasy managers should view Rodgers as a high-floor QB2 in all formats facing the Buffalo Bills who have allowed the 13th-most PPR points to opposing quarterbacks this season.
Dec 24, 2024 2:43 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is uncertain to play in Week 17 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday due to a knee injury he suffered in the Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said he's betting on Rodgers to play, but he's not committing to it early in the week. With the Jets already eliminated from playoff contention, Rodgers isn't going to take any chances with his health in a meaningless game for the team. If he is ruled out for Sunday's game, journeyman QB Tyrod Taylor would make his first start of the year for Gang Green, which would be a downgrade for receivers Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson in fantasy. We'll have a better idea of the 41-year-old's status for Week 17 once the team resumes practicing on Wednesday. The future Hall of Famer has been better of late, but he's no more than a QB2 in fantasy if he plays.
Dec 24, 2024 12:07 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he's open to taking a pay cut and is also willing to mentor a rookie if he continues to play in 2025. However, Rodgers also said that he remains undecided on whether he will continue his playing career. The Jets fell to a disappointing 4-11 after their Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams despite a recent stretch of improved play from Rodgers. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer carries a $23.5 million salary cap hit next year, and the Jets would be on the hook for a $49 million dead cap hit if Rodgers is released or if he retires. Rodgers has thrown for 3,511 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions a year after tearing his Achilles in Week 1. The Jets offense is in the bottom third in the NFL in points per game (19.5) and yards per game (307.9). Rodgers will be a QB2 in fantasy in Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills.
Dec 23, 2024 10:33 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of his 42 passes for 256 yards and one touchdown while losing a fumble and rushing for six yards on one carry in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. It was a rough day for the Jets offense as they managed just one touchdown against a weak LA defensive unit. Rodgers' lone touchdown pass went to Davante Adams on an 11-yard completion in the first quarter. Rodgers' lost fumble proved to be a costly one as he lost the ball on a Kam Curl sack at New York's 21-yard line in the fourth quarter, leading to a Rams touchdown pass three plays later. Rodgers will look to bounce back against the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.
Dec 22, 2024 4:07 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together one of his best games of the season in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers will look to keep it going in a Week 16 home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a plus matchup for quarterbacks this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has been playing his best football of the season of late with three multi-touchdown games over his past four contests. Fantasy managers can treat him as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 16.
Dec 20, 2024 8:50 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is getting healthier down the stretch, which has coincided with two of his best performances of the season the last two weeks against the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers has gone 43-for-69 the last two games with 628 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. "He struggled with injury for a good part of the season, and, as he's starting to get healthier, you're starting to see Aaron Rodgers -- the real Aaron Rodgers," interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said. The future Hall of Famer even rushed for a team-high 45 yards against the Jags, the most by any player in his 40s since Doug Flutie in 2003. Rodgers battled ankle, hamstring and knee issues earlier this year but is as healthy as he's been all year right now. He'll have another decent matchup against the Rams in Week 16, but his recent strong play doesn't suddenly make him a QB1.
Dec 18, 2024 3:24 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 16-for-30 with 289 yards and three passing scores during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers added a season-high 45 rushing yards on six carries. Rodgers tallied his first score of the afternoon on a 22-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson in the opening frame. Then, in the third, Rodgers found Davante Adams on a one-yard strike and would eventually find him a second time in the fourth quarter, this time on a 71-yard pass. After failing to total over 300 all-purpose yards during the first 12 games of the season, the 41-year-old has now accomplished that feat in two straight games. While he has had a disappointing season, Rodgers has begun to turn the corner during the final stretch. He could be a viable low-end QB1 next weekend, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing quarterbacks.
Dec 15, 2024 5:44 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 339 yards in a Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been an excellent matchup for quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Rodgers' play for the majority of the season has not inspired much confidence from a fantasy perspective as he has thrown for more than 300 yards only once and for three touchdowns once. Rodgers settles in as a low-end QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 15.
Dec 13, 2024 9:37 PM EST
According to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle, hamstring, knee) has dealt with a lot more injuries than people know this season, although he's currently considered the healthiest he's been all year since Week 2. Rodgers has dealt with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, an MCL sprain and a high-ankle sprain in 2024, and the fact that he's battled through those injuries at his age has raised his standing with his teammates. Of course, the 41-year-old missed all of last year with an Achilles tear suffered on the first offensive series in Week 1. The future Hall of Famer isn't 100% and has only led the Jets to three wins all season. He's unlikely to be back in New York next season and has had a low fantasy ceiling as a QB2 while averaging 18 fantasy points a game, which is tied with Derek Carr for 25th among all QBs.
Dec 9, 2024 4:49 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of his 39 passes for 339 yards and one touchdown in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Rodgers threw for a season-high in yards but he was unable to manage more than one touchdown pass in the close loss to Miami. His lone touchdown pass was a three-yard completion to Davante Adams in the third quarter, the pair's 79th touchdown across the regular and postseason. Rodgers now has 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season. He will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 15.
Dec 8, 2024 10:33 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for just 185 yards but managed two touchdown passes in a Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Dolphins have been tough on opposing quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position on the year. Rodgers' poor play of late has some calling for the Jets to bench him, but interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich went on record at the beginning of the week saying the veteran gives the team their best chance to win. That being said, Rodgers can't be trusted from a fantasy perspective and should be treated as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 14.
Dec 6, 2024 9:24 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been rumored to potentially be placed on Injured Reserve or sit out late-season games as the team's season has fallen apart, but the 41-year-old is aiming to put those rumors to rest. On his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said his goal after suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of last season is to play all 17 games in 2024. He wants to "finish the season the right way." The four-time MVP has completed 62.5% of his passes for 2,627 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions this year. His play hasn't been horrible, but it hasn't been what we've come to expect from the future Hall of Famer. The veteran still has fantasy value in Superflex/two-QB leagues, and it sounds as if he'll be available during the fantasy football playoffs.
Dec 3, 2024 2:19 PM EST
New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said he still thinks veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers gives the team the best chance to win, and the organization will stick with him as the starter for a Week 14 contest in Miami against the division-rival Dolphins this Sunday. "We have great belief in Aaron and we think he gives us the best opportunity to win," Ulbrich said. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer came up short yet again in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13, dropping the Jets to 3-9 on the year. Through 12 games in his second year in New York, Rodgers ranks as the QB19 with 2,627 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 419 pass attempts. He's sporting a career-low 6.3 yards per attempt, and things haven't gotten much better for the Jets' offense since acquiring receiver Davante Adams. Rodgers will be a QB2 once again against Miami in Week 14.
