New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be released in two weeks and will then be free to sign with any team for the first time in his 20-year career. Rodgers, who turns 42 this December, wants to play for a contending team, but he could have trouble finding a good team that actually wants him after he failed to lead the Jets to the playoffs in 2024. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florida reports there was some chatter at the NFL Combine on Tuesday that the future Hall of Famer has reached out to the New York Giants. It's unclear if the Giants, who are also rumored to be interested in trading for Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford, would be interested in Rodgers, even if he'll be on the cheap side as a free agent. If Rodgers is actually interested in the G-Men, it would suggest that he's not generating much interest from other contending teams that are in the market for a signal-caller this offseason.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) could be cheap if the Los Angeles Rams opt to sign him, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers is no more than a QB2 regardless of where he plays, if he plays, in 2025.

Dynasty | Multiple reports indicate Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams would prefer to play together again somewhere next season. Dynasty Analysis: The Jets have already moved on from Rodgers and it seems they're ready to do the same with Adams, despite him being much more productive. The most recent report ties Rodgers and Adams together with the Rams in a post-Matt Stafford scenario. It's all just talk at this time, but it does seem like the fate of these two may really be tied together, despite Rodgers having little-to-no leverage left based on his value. As for Adams, he should be a viable WR2 next year as his WR1 days could be over.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to be released at some point this offseason, reportedly prefers to sign with the Los Angeles Rams if Matthew Stafford is traded, according to multiple sources. Furthermore, multiple sources suggest Rodgers could convince WR Davante Adams, who is scheduled to count $38.34 million against New York's salary cap in 2025, to join him with the Rams in the likely event Adams is released.

Fantasy Spin: There is a lot to digest here, although it depends entirely on Stafford getting traded. It was reported about a week ago that Rodgers would be a fallback option for the Rams if they get a haul they like in return for their quarterback, but it sounds like the interest between Rodgers and the team is mutual. Perhaps the bigger news from a fantasy perspective is the potential inclusion of Adams, who would probably make Puka Nacua a less attractive fantasy asset in a Rodgers-led offense. Rodgers' days for vying for league MVP honors are long gone, but he could still be a decent fantasy QB2 option in a Sean McVay-led offense.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers prefers to play for the Los Angeles Rams and that he would bring wide receiver Davante Adams with him to his next stop, sources told the New York Daily News' Pat Leonard. The new Jets regime has already decided to move on from Rodgers and are expected to designate him as a post-June 1 cut. However, Rodgers and Adams playing for the Rams can only happen if L.A. actually trades current starting QB Matthew Stafford. But even in that scenario, it's unclear if the Rams would consider the 41-year-old Rodgers an upgrade over Stafford. The future Hall of Famer is likely to only play one more season in 2025, and he proved the last two years in New York that Father Time has caught up to him. The four-time MVP tore his Achilles in Week 1 in 2023 and was up in down in 2024, throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 starts.

Dynasty | Free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers is reportedly looking for a good team to sign on with if he continues playing. Dynasty Analysis: Well, that seemed obvious from the start. Rodgers seems willing to keep playing but it's unclear if any competitive teams would honestly even want him. His up-and-down play combined with his off-the-field attention may just be too much for someone to stomach. However, it only takes one and a team like Pittsburgh or the Rams (should they move on from Matthew Stafford) could make sense. Regardless, Rodgers' dynasty value has pretty much cratered.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will eventually be released by the Jets this offseason, is looking to play again in 2025 and wants to play for a contender, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. When asked what Rodgers is looking for in his next team, he said, "If they got a good team." The 41-year-old four-time MVP tore his Achilles in Week 1 in 2023 and was inconsistent for the Jets in 2024, so it remains to be seen if any contending teams will actually want to sign him this offseason. The teams that are in the market for a veteran QB, such as the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns, aren't exactly good teams. The future Hall of Famer might have to wait until after the draft in April until later this offseason to figure out the best situation that suits him after throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games in his final year with Gang Green.

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.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford and the team have had multiple discussions about upgrading Stafford's contract, which calls for him to make $35 million in 2025 - none of which is guaranteed. However, in the opinion of ESPN's Adam Schefter, former New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers would be 'thrilled with the idea of going to Los Angeles' if Stafford is traded.

Fantasy Spin: Schefter makes it clear there are plenty of "ifs" in his statement, but it is conceivable that the Rams and Stafford cannot agree on a number that makes both parties happy and the team is forced to trade their quarterback. This hypothetical assumes Rodgers would agree to take less money than Stafford is owed, which is already below the going rate for quarterbacks in 2025. Rodgers would be a popular bounce-back candidate under head coach Sean McVay, although his fantasy ceiling at this point of his career is probably as a middling QB2.

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.

Former New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is not expected to receive much interest from the New York Giants this offseason, according to the New York Post's Paul Schwartz.

Fantasy Spin: The Giants will be looking for a starting quarterback during the offseason but probably have other options in mind and will avoid Rodgers. Some teams in need of a starter probably will pursue Rodgers, but he will be No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

From TheHuddle

Dynasty | The Jets have informed Aaron Rodgers of his release. Dynasty Analysis: The combination of Rodgers being woefully ineffective and apparently unwilling to conform to the expectations of a new regime led to this expected outcome. Rodgers was apparently given some new parameters to abide by, including attending more off-season activities and staying away from his controversial media appearances on multiple shows. Rodgers clearly balked at these new expectations and that left the Jets little choice. As for A-Rod, he'll be a true free agent for the first time in his career. Unfortunately, it's hard to see many teams looking at him as a viable starter after he's proven to be a shell of his former self the past year or so. This ultimately could be the end. Rodgers is still roster worthy at the moment, but that could change soon.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

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.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is expected to be released with a post-June 1 designation, according to sources Thursday, Feb. 13.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers will officially be a free agent and should have a handful of potential suitors if he decides to keep playing. Considering the likely landing spots, Rodgers' fantasy value remains that of a QB2.

From TheHuddle

The New York Jets are fully expected to move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2025, but The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the team presented the future Hall of Famer with a plan to move forward with him as their QB. The Jets' plan included stipulations about outside media work during the season and required that he attend all mandatory offseason workouts, according to team and league sources. Specifically, Rodgers would no longer be allowed to make regular, paid appearances on "The Pat McAfee Show." Apparently, Rodgers wasn't inclined to agree with those stipulations, and the Jets are expected to release the 41-year-old, who still has one year left on his contract. If the four-time MVP chooses to return for a 21st year in the NFL, it will be with another organization. Rodgers' two-year run in New York was highly disappointing after he tore his Achilles in Week 1 in 2023.

Dynasty | The Jets have reportedly informed Aaron Rodgers he's no longer part of their future plans. Dynasty Analysis: This was always the likely case after Rodgers failed to elevate the team. He'll apparently be joined on the market with Davante Adams, who was good for New York down the stretch but also doesn't fit their rebuilding timeline. The Jets swung and missed big with Rodgers, who famously tore his Achilles in his first game last season, then went on to look like a shell of his former self most of this season. Retirement seems likely for Rodgers, but he could be a bridge option out there for someone should he choose to continue playing.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers recently met with the Jets front office and has been informed that they will not be bringing him back next season.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers likely will receive interest from a few teams this offseason if he hits the free-agent market and likely will be a starter if he decides to play in 2025. He posted good numbers this season but likely will be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

The New York Jets will continue to have further discussions, but sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that the overwhelming belief is that the team is unlikely to move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback in 2025. Most folks are expecting the Jets' new regime, led by first-time head coach Aaron Glenn, to go for a fresh start. A resolution is expected sooner than later. After tearing his Achilles on the first offensive series of the year in 2023, the 41-year-old Rodgers returned in 2024 and was unable to capture his previous Pro Bowl form. Although the future Hall of Famer did throw four touchdowns in the regular-season finale to reach 500 for his career, he ultimately was a disappointment, completing only 63% of his passes for 3,879 yards, 28 TDs and 11 interceptions. Rodgers has said he'd like to play again in 2025, but it looks like it won't be in New York.

From RotoBaller

The New York Jets have been in ongoing discussions with QB Aaron Rodgers regarding his future and a decision on whether he will return to the team next season could come as soon as this upcoming week, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Spin: New head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey appear to have a great deal of respect for Rodgers but he would probably need to take a pay cut from his scheduled 2025 base salary of $37.5 million to remain with the Jets. He would also likely need to dedicate significant time to the team's offseason program, especially with a new offensive coordinator. Assuming that the 41-year-old Rodgers decides to continue playing next season, he should be viewed as a QB2 option in fantasy leagues regardless of where he winds up.

From TheHuddle

During his introductory press conference, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn was cryptic regarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his future with the team. "We've already [had] communication with [him]," said Glenn. "As we continue to look at the roster, we'll make decisions accordingly, and that's with a number of people on the team." Rodgers noted a few weeks ago that he needs some time away to reflect, but he did appear open to returning to the Jets if they'd have him. Whether the 41-year-old will be back with the team remains to be seen, but their new head coach is on record stating he plans to meet with the veteran QB soon and "will definitely come up with a decision much sooner than later. I don't wanna drag this out." Hopefully, Rodgers is of the same sentiment.
