The New York Jets and drama? Name a more iconic duo. Seriously, if last season was a TV show, it’d be somewhere between Succession and Curb Your Enthusiasm—high stakes, awkward moments, and a whole lot of “Did that really just happen?” From Super Bowl dreams to a four-play nightmare, Aaron Rodgers’ arrival in New York was supposed to change everything. But nope, reality hit hard. And now?
It’s time for Rodgers to leave New York, as the franchise wants to go in a different direction with the QB position. Now that the NFL Combine is here, the team’s surely looking for Rodgers’ replacement. But hold on—that doesn’t mean Rodgers’ is out of the headlines. The Jets’ general manager, Darren Mougey, is at the combine, and he straight-up cleared his feelings for the veteran QB.
ESPN NFL Nation reporter Rich Cimini, who covers the Jets, recently hopped on to his official ‘X’ handle and wrote, “Mougey says he won’t discuss any private convos with Rodgers. (He) Claims there was no “ultimatum” made to Rodgers. On why they parted ways: “Best thing for the Jets was to go in a different direction.”

Meanwhile, the GM also gave an update on the wide receiver Davante Adams’ future with the team. Finally! Mougey stated, “Davante is on the team right now. We have a plan there. In the next few weeks, we’ll address that issue.” That’s it, folks. Two of the biggest news from New York are now confirmed. Rodgers is leaving, and Adams is staying.
This is a developing story. Stay Tuned!
