When the New York Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers, there were dreams that he would make their team a Super Bowl contender.

The team hasn’t even been close to being a playoff squad with him aboard.

His first season was a complete wash. He only lasted a few plays before his entire season was ended due to a torn Achilles.

Season two was much anticipated, and neither Rodgers nor anybody could’ve guessed that the 2024 season would’ve turned out as terrible as it has.

Now, it is not a foregone conclusion that Aaron Rodgers will be back for the 2025 season.

With Week 18 approaching and the New York Jets eliminated from the playoffs, many are thinking about his future.

Covers.com is now breaking down the odds of where Rodgers will end up.

If he does not stay with the Jets for one more year, the report has the Las Vegas Raiders snagging him with +300 odds.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are next on the list at +400. The New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, and Cleveland Browns round out the top five teams that could bring Aaron Rodgers on board.

The star quarterback has looked every bit of 41 years old, throwing 10 interceptions and 24 touchdown passes through the Jets’ first 16 games.

Is Aaron Rodgers Thinking About Retirement?

Aaron Rodgers is thinking about the future.

This week, the veteran QB admitted he was thinking about whether the Jets’ final game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday would also be his last in the league.

“Yeah, of course, yeah,” Rodgers said as he reflected on his career.

“This game has given me a lot. I’ve given a lot back to it, and I’m thankful for it. … I won’t be thinking about that come game day. I’ll just be enjoying this. I’m just trying to stay in the moment, but of course, it’s been a long career. I’m really proud of what I’ve been able to be a part of, what I’ve been able to accomplish, and also looking forward to a nice mental and physical rest.”

Rodgers made it clear he “won’t be doing any more darkness retreats this offseason,” but stated he will take some time to rest before making a final decision.

“I need a break mentally, and I don’t want to make a decision until I’ve been able to rest mentally and physically,” Rodgers said. “Because really, since September 11th last year, it feels like I’ve been rehabbing and training just to get to be able to play in training camp, and then obviously had the nerves of playing the first few games and kind of just getting banged up, just trying to get back on the field for many weeks until the last three or four where I felt really good.

“So I just need a break mentally to just kind of refresh, put my feet in the sand, and see where I’m at after that.”

Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.

There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.

If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.

Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:

“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…

Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
