One of the first official moves of the 2025 NFL season is the release of Aaron Rodgers from the New York Jets. The team will release the veteran quarterback and four-time league MVP after the new league year officially begins on Wednesday at 4 p.

Aaron Rodgers' much-hyped but overwhelmingly disappointing two-year tenure with the New York Jets is officially over. The team released the four-time MVP, as expected, and the 41-year-old quarterback can now join another team as a free agent for the first time in his career — if he stills intends to play a 21st NFL season.

It’s out with the old and in with the new in New Jersey. With the league year officially beginning at 4:00 PM EST, the New York Jets made their final decision on this veteran quarterback.

For the first time in his career, Aaron Rodgers is set to be a free agent, and right now, no one seems to know what he's going to do. The four-time NFL MVP has several options on the table with either the Pittsburgh Steelers or New York Giants looking like the most probable destination.

Even though the Minnesota Vikings seem prepared to enter 2025 with J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback, there's at least one person encouraging Aaron Rodgers to sign with them as a free agent.
