Aaron Rodgers to Leave New York Jets After Two Seasons
Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers is officially leaving the New York Jets, the team has announced. The 41-year-old quarterback, who joined the Jets in 2023, had his first season disrupted by a torn Achilles tendon suffered in a game against the Buffalo Bills.

Despite the setback, Rodgers made a significant impact during his time with the team. Last season, he recorded 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, ranking as the third-best single-season performance in Jets history. His arrival in New York was met with excitement, as fans hoped he would lead the team to a deep playoff run.

With Rodgers departing, the Jets are expected to bring in a new quarterback and coaching staff.
