Aaron Rodgers’ impending departure from the New York Jets has his future in the NFL up in the air. Rodgers played his best football down the stretch of the 2024 season, but New York only won five games as he returned from a torn Achilles injury. FOX Sports reported on Sunday the Jets told Rodgers they would move on from him – whether it is a trade or an outright cut.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the handful of teams that will have a decision to make with their quarterback situation – do they bring back Russell Wilson or Justin Fields or do they turn their attention to the free-agent market and go after someone like Rodgers? Steelers safety DeShon Elliott made clear he does not want Rodgers in black and gold.

"Leave his a-- at the retirement home," he wrote before apparently deleting it. The NFL world made sure to screenshot the remark before it went away. Rodgers has yet to say one way or the other that he will play one more season. He will turn 42 next December.
