Is the Aaron Rodgers era in New York already nearing its end? After a disappointing season cut short by injury and a playoff miss, whispers are growing louder that the Jets could be ready to part ways with the four-time MVP and former Packers legend—for good this time.
The New York Jets owner Woody Johnson broke Rex Ryan’s heart and chose Aaron Glenn as the new head coach for the Jets. The Jets, who hoped that Rodgers would help them snap their thirteen-year playoff drought, find themselves in the dark ages of their franchise once again. The Jets had an unceremonious start to the season and had a rocky boat since the beginning. After firing HC Robert Saleh mid-season, the rocky boat sank into oblivion with dwindling chances.
It is safe to say that not everybody is happy with Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers who turned 41 last December has a lot of experience but has diminished in his ability to play – he isn’t any more than the agile and reflexive QB he once was.
Speaking about the chances of Rodgers, former Super Bowl star Kayshawn Johnson expressed that he doesn’t expect Rodgers to wear Green and White anymore. On a recent episode of Speak, Johnson revealed his true feelings regarding that matter.
He will not start his career with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback in September. And if he does, then I’m walking from Calabasas at 4 a.m., in the morning to the studio, the whole walk with you with nothing on the boxers.

Much to Keyshawn Johnson’s chagrin, Aaron Rodgers might remain with the Jets under Glenn
ESPN Radio announcer Michael Kay reported that there are rumblings in the building as Aaron Glenn wants to keep Rodgers and test him as the quarterback. As per these rumblings, Rodgers would get out on the field once more, yet again, leading the team under a defensive head coach.
There’s word out there, there’s been leaks I’ve heard, that Aaron Glenn has made it known that he would like to keep Aaron Rodgers.
Michael Kay said
The 41-year-old will have as many as expectations as the previous year, if not more, in the coming year. He would once again be teh beacon of hope, or he should become the one that could lead the Jets to making the playoffs after several years. The Jets started 2-2 then lost 10 in their last 13 games to plunge themselves deep in the race. Nevertheless, its not like Rodgers hasn’t shown flashes of old brilliance in some of the last games.
If Rodgers can replicate his strong finish from last season—1,270 passing yards and a 9:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio over his final five games—paired with the support of a more stable coaching staff, the Jets could position themselves to compete with the Bills for the AFC East title and emerge as serious contenders in the AFC playoff race.
