The Jets are ready to begin a new era with head coach Aaron Glenn. His first major decision was to confirm that Aaron Rodgers will be released, so the team must look for a starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
The situation is complicated for Glenn, considering that the 2025 draft class is not very deep at that position and, with the No. 7 pick in the first round, it is very likely that names like Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders will no longer be available.
The other alternative to finding a star to win the Super Bowl is free agency. The best available names are Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, or Russell Wilson. It is important to remember that the Pittsburgh Steelers have confirmed that they will only be able to sign one of the last two players, who were already with them in 2024.
Who will replace Aaron Rodgers with Jets?
Tyrod Taylor would be the chosen name to replace Aaron Rodgers with the Jets. According to a report by Tony Pauline, Aaron Glenn will take a chance on the quarterback who was a backup in the 2024 season, giving him the opportunity to be the starter while they develop a young prospect.
“People who have met with the New York Jets tell me the team is ready to go into the season with Tyrod Taylor as its starting quarterback, but the Jets will look to draft their signal caller of the future on Day 2 of this year’s draft. Taylor’s history is one where he’s had great success as a spot starter in the league.”
