Aaron Rodgers says he hasn't decided if he wants to play in 2025, but the Jets would be 'my first option'

Aaron Rodgers says he hasn't decided whether he wants to play next season, but if he does return, he says the Jets would be "my first option."

Rodgers, speaking during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, dispelled rumors about his future following a season in which he and the Jets have underperformed amid high expectations, which led to the firings of both head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.

"I haven't told anybody in my life that I want to play in 2025 and not on the Jets," Rodgers said. "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... there's a lot of things out of my control when it comes to that."

Rodgers, 41, has not looked like his former MVP self this season, throwing for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 games as the Jets have stumbled to a 3-8 record.

"I've really enjoyed my time in New York," he said, "Obviously, we haven't had the success that we've all wanted to have, but I've made some great friendships on this team. I've enjoyed living in Jersey, I've enjoyed time in the city, I've enjoyed getting to know the fans. And I came here to win here. So I'm not jumping off ship, you know, like, 'Oh, I definitely want to play, and not in New York.' I don't even know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option."
