Aaron Rodgers has confirmed he’s not done with the NFL, and he wants to head to New York next season. “I’ve made it clear since Friday my intention is to play and play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee show on March 15.
Rodgers clarified his appearance on the broadcast wasn’t to make a big announcement, but rather to clear up misconceptions about his free agency. According to Rodgers, the Jets are just waiting on the go-ahead from Green Bay. “I’m still under contract with the Packers,” he explained. Rodgers described the move as “just a matter of getting it done at this point.”

The last time Rodgers was on “The Pat McAfee Show” in January, he still wasn’t fully ready to make a decision on the 2023 season. He mentioned that he had talked with the organization and at the time, and they weren’t expecting a definite answer. He also added that if the Packers decided to rebuild their team, he would choose to leave. Rodgers now appears to have made his choice, and the ball is in the Packers’ court to relinquish him to the Big Apple.
