Aaron Rodgers may be playing some of his best football in recent weeks, but that hasn't changed the New York Jets' outlook on the former NFL MVP.

Despite impressive performances, including a 289-yard, 3-touchdown game in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a 339-yard, 1-touchdown effort in an overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Jets' stance remains unchanged: they're likely to part ways with Rodgers after the season.
The Jets have been in turmoil since firing head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas, with speculation mounting that Rodgers won't return for the 2025 season.
According to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, that belief extends to potential general manager candidates as well. It's widely expected that the next GM will want to move on from Rodgers and reset the quarterback position.
While there's no indication that owner Woody Johnson will force the issue, a new regime would likely look to start fresh at the most important position on the field.
Rodgers, who celebrated his 41st birthday this month, has struggled to regain his former form since returning from a torn Achilles. While he's shown flashes of his old self, the Jets' 4-10 record suggests they're headed for yet another rebuild.
Even with Rodgers posting 8 touchdowns and just 1 interception over his last four games, it seems the franchise is ready to move in a new direction. The Jets, with Rodgers' salary and age working against him, might finally be ready to cut ties, even if it means looking for a new face under center for 2025.
