New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers dropped a compelling hint about which team he’d like to play for if he doesn’t return to Gotham in 2025.
Aaron Rodgers’ first full season with the Jets has been a disaster of epic proportions. Though his stat line is far from awful (3,511 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions), Rodgers has done nothing to elevate this team from bottom-feeder to Super Bowl contender.
Head coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas were fired in a span of six weeks. The Jets gave up a valuable draft pick to the Las Vegas for star wideout Davante Adams, who also hasn’t done enough to fix this anemic offense.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”, Aaron Rodgers praised the state of of Tennessee and seemingly hinted at an interest in joining the Titans.
“The great state of Tennessee, phenomenal state. Great people out there…no state income tax. Lotta great country music, barbeque down there…Memphis.”
The Titans make sense for Rodgers if he’s prioritizing the lifestyle, greater income (no state tax) and of course some input on personnel decisions. But this team has clinched a third straight losing and non-playoff season, so it’s not the most attractive destination if he wants to compete for Super Bowls.Tennessee would offer Rodgers a quality wide receiver in Calvin Ridley and a 1,000-yard rusher in Tony Pollard, but there’s not much else here to suggest Rodgers could push them to championship contention.
Aaron Rodgers & Jets Should Break Up
Rodgers previously stated that he’d like to stay with the Jets, but it’s hard to think of any positives from that. Woody Johnson reportedly pushed for the Jets to bench the four-time MVP, and A-Rod threw shade at the owner by stating the importance of backing up the front office and coaching staff.
It’s hard to guess what Rodgers’ market would look like if he were traded or released. The bottom line is that his age-42 season should not be wasted with the Jets.
