Aaron Rodgers has been a legend in the realm of the NFL for a long time now. Winning the Super Bowl in 2011 with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers established himself as one of the biggest stars of the game. Unfortunately, with his time with the Packers coming to an end, A-Rod’s NFL journey has taken quite a hit. Signing with the New York Jets, Rodgers hasn’t been able to replicate his performance from the past. And now, with the complications only getting worse, this might well be the last time we get to see Aaron Rodgers in the gridiron.
Will Aaron Rodgers Retire After 2024?
Aaron Rodgers won four MVP awards while he was with the Packers. Unfortunately, those high standards look like a shadow of his past self. For instance, A-Rod failed to get a single 300-yard game. Speaking about his numbers, Rodgers has managed only seven interceptions along with 15 touchdowns. Add to that, his absence during the entirety of the last season due to injury. Thus, with such sorry stats, the speculations are already making noise about 2024 being A-Rod’s final season.
Confirming the possibilities, The Athletic’s Diana Russini stated that Jets’ owner Woody Johnson will likely be enjoying an ambassadorial position under the Donald Trump administration. Thus, the vice chairman, Christopher Johnson, is expected to take over the reins. Knowing that the organization does not owe any money to Rodgers, they might not consider signing Rodgers next season. And this is not the first time Rodgers’ retirement rumors have picked up pace.
Rich Cimini Doubles Down On Aaron Rodgers’ Potential Retirement
After the Jets lost yet another game to the Bills back on October 15, 2024, the discontent regarding Rodgers’ NFL farewell grew large. Speaking on the matter, ESPN’s Rich Cimini had his own take to chime in with. And not to mention, it was not a pleasant one for A-Rod to hear. While analyzing the NFL star’s performance this season, Cimini also echoed a similar sentiment about 2024 being Rodgers’ last.
“He’s just not playing well, I think his body is beat up, I think if the Jets miss the playoffs, which it certainly appears they will, the Jets will start over next year. I’m not basing that on anything Rodgers told me or anyone in his circle told me. I just think this is probably going to be his final season,” Cimini stated. Thus, with things going wrong, it now remains to be seen whether Rodgers can salvage whatever is left of the ongoing season.
