The New York Jets seem ready to continue from the Aaron Rodgers era, according to a report from FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz prior to Super Bowl Lix.
Further discussions have been expected, but the 'overwhelming' belief is that the team will probably move forward without Rodgers such as Quarterback in 2025, sources told the NFL Insider.
And Schultz was not the only one reporting on the imminent departure of Rodgers in New Jersey.
Jay Glazer from Fox added that Rodgers flew back to New Jersey last week to meet the team, but to hear that they are planning to continue without him.
The Quarterback had bullied the opportunity to retire or play elsewhere. Last month the new Jets -head coach Aaron Glenn insisted that Rodgers is 'Under the Microscope' – just like any other player.
'Aaron Rodgers will be talked about. We have our communication with Aaron Rodgers and [decisions will be made] While we keep looking at the grid, “he said.

'We sit down and talk and build the whole schedule … We are looking forward to that process. I can't tell you how long that process will last … [but] We are going to get the correct answer. '
Later Glenn stated that his task was greater than one player or one position: 'We already have an SMS from Aaron and me and [general manager Darren Mougey] Sit there and look at every game tape that is there, and then we will look at the whole selection.
'This thing is not about Aaron Rodgers, people, this is about the selection. We are planning to build the best schedule that we can … listen, everyone is under the microscope. That is exactly what it is. So we are going to do our best to ensure that we build a better best selection. '
Rodgers' relationship with Woody Johnson was intensely examined last season, but the owner of Jets insisted that he would have no participation in the future of the Quarterback.
“I am going to leave that to them, they should see how the team is composed and what they think they need and put it all together.”
When he was pressed on whether he would welcome Rodgers back, Glenn and Mougey would like to keep him, the owner said: “Absolutely. If they want Aaron back, Aaron is definitely a talent, a Hall of Famer. '
The legendary quarterback wrote history in the season finale when he threw his 500th career Touchdown in the victory of the jets on the dolphins.
Glenn and new Jets General Manager Darren Mougey were unveiled to the media in January
“I go home and relax,” he told Fox Sports in an interview at the Metlife Stadium -Turf immediately after the game and added: “But I'm not going to keep anyone up.
“I will have conversations with the jets tomorrow to see what they think, and then we will make a decision before it gets too late in the low season.”
Later, in his press conference after the game, Rodgers admitted that he does not know if something will come 'definitively' from those first conversations with the jets.
Rodgers is planned to deal with a non-godded $ 37.5 million in 2025 with a dead cap hit of $ 49 million, because his salary limit goes a total of $ 17.1 million to $ 23.5 million.
The jets can spread the dead money over two years by releasing Rodgers using 1-name after June. He has a no-trade clause in his contract, so that they need his permission to close a deal.
The San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders were all reported as possible destinations for Rodgers next season.
Rodgers joined the jets in a broadly celebrated movement before the 2023 season, but suffered a seasonal Achilles injury that year at the team's opening ride.
More than 18 games, the jets are only 6-12 when Rodgers started while he has thrown 28 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions.
