Aaron Rodgers’ best football is probably behind him in Green Bay, but the Jets are hoping he’s still good enough to carry the offense forward into playoff contention.
After all, the defense has rarely been the problem for Gang Green and New York Jets odds bettors.
There’s one thing Rodgers has clearly done right during his swan song in New York. After a long career with more than $300 million in career earnings, Rodgers isn’t a maximally paid player with the Jets.
That gives New York greater cap flexibility in building the roster behind Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers Contract
Aaron Rodgers signed a restructured contract with the Jets after being traded from the Packers in 2023. The deal is worth a total of $112.5 million and runs through the end of the 2025 season.
Rodgers’ deal includes a full no-trade clause, and the Jets cannot use the franchise tag on him at the end of the contract.
