Jets Leadership Faces Scrutiny Over Aaron Rodgers Departure and Uncertain QB Future
New York Jets' decision to move on from Aaron Rodgers raises questions about their strategy and plans for a replacement quarterback.
- Jets' new GM Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn defended their decision to part ways with Aaron Rodgers but provided limited details on their reasoning.
- Rodgers is expected to be designated as a post-June 1 cut, potentially easing the team's salary cap burden by splitting the dead money hit across two seasons.
- The Jets have yet to identify a clear replacement for Rodgers, with options reportedly being explored through the draft, free agency, or trades.
- Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor, currently on the roster, was praised by team leadership but not confirmed as the Week 1 starter for the 2025 season.
- Uncertainty extends to other players brought in due to Rodgers' presence, such as Davante Adams, whose future with the team remains in question.
