The Jets are heading toward a losing. Yeah, you read that right—with a 3 and 8 record. So, at this point, a winning season is about as realistic as dreaming of a W postgame. Sure, they’d need a miracle 6-0 run to turn it around, but with their current play? Let’s just say that’s not a bet even Vegas would take. It’s tough to watch Gang Green in this kind of turmoil, but let’s not sugarcoat it—they brought this mess on themselves. And now, the ripple effects are reaching Aaron Rodgers’ future. Is this the last dance we’ve been teasing all along?

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini has just dunked an apple over Green Apple. She reported, “Aaron Rodgers still wants to play in 2025, but not for the Jets.” Ouch. As if the chaos wasn’t spicy enough, Russini made it hotter, suggesting Rodgers’ time with the Gang might end with a stint on injured reserve—or worse, a midseason cut.

And the timing? Couldn’t be more dramatic. Just hours after the Giants bid farewell to Daniel Jones, the Jets are apparently prepping for their own QB breakup. It’s ironic, considering Rodgers was supposed to be their savior, the guy to finally end their playoff drought. Instead, he’s limping (literally) toward what looks like a messy divorce.

Now, if you think that’s a fumble., then what are you going it call this: The four-time MVP who took pay cuts (chalked off $35 million in 2023 which was now used to bring Davante Adams), backed the Jets, and stayed “all in” now finds himself at the center of serious exit rumors. Did we all see this coming? Maybe. But it still feels like a curveball out of nowhere. Plus, I mean, after that Woody Johnson “leak,” A-Rod’s response feels more like a classic clapback than any sort of surprise.

Was Aaron Rodgers disrespected?

Just days after Aaron Rodgers’ rallying call—“A week to clear all of our heads. Come back, and stick together”—things spiraled fast. Dianna Russini reported that the Jets owner Woody Johnson suggested Tyrod Taylor should take over as QB1 after the team’s week 4 loss to the Broncos. And this wasn’t just casual banter over coffee. The meeting allegedly included head coach Robert Saleh, GM Joe Douglas, and even an advisor to Johnson. Imagine sitting in that room discussing demoting the franchise’s supposed savior—trouble…

At that point, the Jets were 2-2, a shaky balance of highs and lows. Losses to the 49ers and Broncos stung but wins over the Titans and Patriots kept hopes alive. Rodgers’ numbers? Not exactly MVP caliber—849 yards, five touchdowns, one pick—but those 10 sacks? That’s a beating no QB deserves. It felt less like an offense and more like Rodgers auditioning for an extreme survival show.

Fast-forward to now: Saeh fired. Rodgers improved. With 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. Solid? Sure. But the Jets? A dismal 3-8. And guess who’s catching all the blame? Yep, the guy slinging the ball behind a collapsing pocket. That’s an easy pick. But this has been a running theme.

Rodgers brought his leadership and star power, but with an offensive line that couldn’t protect a grocery cart, the results are clear. And all he got in return was a lot of chatter… So, was Rodgers disrespected? Well, if mid-season bench rumors and public finger-pointing are to go by, then yes, he was. What do you think?
