Aaron Rodgers still wants to run it back in 2025.
The Jets quarterback said Wednesday that despite the struggles of this 3-7 season, he still wants to play next season.
“I think so, yeah,” Rodgers said when asked if he wants to play in 2025.
Rodgers turns 41 in December and has had one of the worst seasons of his career. The Jets have gone from having Super Bowl dreams to having a very slim chance of making a playoff run.
Rodgers was asked if how this season has gone has changed his view on playing next year.
“Not really, not for the negative, no,” Rodgers said.
Rodgers did concede that he has not played well this season.
“I’m not playing as well as I would have liked to play, for sure,” he said. “The beauty in this game is it’s a team game. The frustrating part is as a great competitor, you hold yourself to a standard and it’s not unrealistic and I haven’t reached that standard this year.”
The Jets traded for Rodgers in April 2023. He missed all but four plays of his first season with a torn Achilles tendon. He returned this year and things have not gone well.
Still, Rodgers said he has enjoyed these two years.
“It’s been actually a really beautiful couple of years for me in totality, but it’s obviously been frustrating with the football part,” he said.
If the Jets were to part with Rodgers in 2025, they would incur $49 million in dead money against the salary cap.
