Right now, the most likely option does still seem to be Aaron Rodgers. He logged 28 touchdown passes in 2024 and is under contract for the 2025 season. Rodgers hasn’t announced whether he will play in 2025,

Rodgers returned from a torn Achilles this season to high hopes, with many experts predicting the Jets would end their playoff drought. The team instead stumbled to a 5-12 record, struggling on both sides of the ball and enduring internal turmoil that included the firing of both the head coach and general manager.

Aaron Rodgers is going to deliberate whether he wants to prolong his NFL career following this mayday season that the New York Jets have endured, nosediving to 4-10 with three games to play. However, the Jets may not wait for the quarterback to call his own shots on whether he returns for the final year of his contract with them in 2025.
