Aaron Rodgers didn’t have his best year with the New York Jets, but he managed to throw 24 touchdowns in the 15 games he played. However, the numbers could have been slightly better, considering he attempted 530 passes with only 62.8% of them completed.
Addressing the team’s offensive struggles and other issues, Rodgers delivered a sharp warning, revealing that a “list” of players who might be on their way out of the franchise is already being discussed. After the Jets‘ 9-19 loss to the Rams, he said: “The last two weeks we can really see who’s on board moving forward and who is ready to get out.”
Rodgers also highlighted the need for some teammates to reevaluate what it means to be a professional in the NFL: “You gotta figure out what it means to be a professional.” He suggested this introspection is essential for building the team’s culture and hinted that recent results over the last two weeks could lead to significant roster changes.
The Jets have only one win in December, a 32-25 road victory over the Jaguars. They lost their other three games against the Seahawks, Dolphins, and Rams. Out of their four total wins in the 2024 season, two were at home against the Patriots and Texans.

Rodgers Acknowledges Roster Cuts Are Part of the Game
Despite his tough message about players potentially being cut, Rodgers acknowledged that roster changes are a natural part of the NFL: “It’s part of the game. I’ve been on a couple of teams where it’s about that.” He hinted that the coming weeks will involve some pivotal discussions for the franchise.
