Aaron Rodgers is addressing rumors about his NFL future and continuing with the New York Jets team. In a new interview, Rodgers opened up about reports that he wanted to continue playing football in 2025 but not with his current team. “I haven’t told anybody in my life, ‘I want to play in 2025 and not in the Jets,'” Rodgers said on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “That’s 100% false.

I actually said the opposite. I said that I’m going to wait and see what happens at the end of the season and if they want me back.” He continued, “I’ve really enjoyed my time in New York.

And I came here to win here so I’m not jumping off ship like, ‘I definitely want to play and not in New York.'” Rodgers added, “I don’t know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option.” The Super Bowl champion later noted that he makes decisions about continuing to play “year to year.” “When you’re 40 going on 41, you’re at the end of your career.
