Aaron Rodgers is considered a ‘long shot’ by the New York Jets to be their quarterback next season, it has been claimed.
NFL reporter Ian Rapoport made the bombshell revelation just two hours before the Jets resumed their season after last weekend’s bye week against Seattle Seahawks at 1pm ET.
Speaking on NFL GameDay, Rapoport said: ‘Is Aaron Rodgers going to be the Jets quarterback in 2025?
‘You mention the money: none guaranteed but they do owe him a $35million option bonus if they decide to bring him back. My understanding is that Rodgers right now is considered a long shot to return to the Jets.
‘Those conversations will happen with the new powerbrokers after the year but that is my understanding right now.’
If Rodgers and the Jets were to part ways, it would leave the 40-year-old quarterback facing a serious decision about his future in the game.

Earlier this week, in an appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers said his first option is to keep playing in New York after the current season is up.
The Jets are 3-8 going into Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, who are leading the NFC West. Victory is imperative to keep their slender hopes alive of making the postseason.
