Aaron Rodgers has not yet spoken to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson over his future with the AFC East franchise following his horrendous 2024 season. After returning from a torn Achilles injury that derailed his debut season with the Jets, Rodgers has struggled immensely. Following a loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week, the Jets fell to 4-11 - a far cry from preseason predictions that had them going to the Super Bowl .
There’s no two ways about it: 2024 has been a colossal failure of a campaign - and Rodgers has played a key role. His performances have been subpar; he has thrown for 3,511 yards and 24 touchdowns with 8 interceptions, compiling a career-low 90.8 rating.

When asked if owner Johnson wants him back, the 41-year-old said: “You should ask Woody.” Rodgers also confirmed he has not spoken with Johnson about his future with the franchise.
He added he’d be “surprised” if such a discussion takes place, admitting the process is likely to take some time. He explained: “[There are] so many uncertainties. There's a GM that has to get hired, I would assume first, and then he's going to be a part of hiring the head coach.
“And then so I have to be in the plans of multiple people, starting with the ownership and then the GM and then the head coach. So that's why to me, that would not be a conversation I'm expecting anytime soon until those things are in place.” Back in April 2023 amid plenty of speculation, the Jets completed a sensational trade with the Green Bay Packers to secure the services of the four-time MVP.
Rodgers - as well as the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a fifth-round selection - moved to New York in exchange for the 2023 13th overall pick, a 2023 second-round pick (no.42), a sixth-round pick (no.207) and a conditional second-round pick.

However, the Jets and the NFC North franchise were engaged in trade talks after it became clear Green Bay was willing to move off Rodgers and progress with Jordan Love in 2023 and beyond. However, Rodgers’ New York dream turned into a nightmare just four snaps into his much-anticipated debut.
On the opening drive of his Jets career against the Buffalo Bills , Rodgers was sacked by Leonard Floyd with the veteran quarterback tearing his Achilles in the process. Rodgers is questionable to feature in the Jets' penultimate game of the season. The 4-11 Jets take on the 12-3 Bills in an AFC East showdown on Sunday, Dec, 29.
