After two tumultuous seasons with the New York Jets, it was announced on Thursday that the team would not be bringing back quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The four-time National Football League Most Valuable Player Award winner was expected to rejuvenate one of the most dysfunctional teams in the league after being traded from the Green Bay Packers prior to the 2023 season but instead only added to the chaos.

“Rodgers in a 49ers uniform would also bring his career full circle. San Francisco famously passed on the California product in the 2005 NFL Draft. Even though Rodgers would become a legend in Green Bay, he did suffer multiple postseason defeats to the 49ers along the way.”

Should any other team in the NFL decide those are all characteristics they want a veteran quarterback to bring into their locker room in 2025, Rodgers will officially be available to sign as a free agent beginning March 13.
