It was reported on Super Bowl Sunday by Jay Glazer and Ian Rapoport that the Jets were moving towards splitting with QB Aaron Rodgers after two seasons. The 41-year-old QB has had quite the tenure with the New York Jets, and the 2023 Offseason Dream of a potential Super Bowl with the ex-Packers QB is now over.
