Aaron Rodgers arrived in the Big Apple with plenty of expectations. Unfortunately, his first season with the New York Jets ended prematurely as he tore his left Achilles tendon only four plays into his debut.

At 39, many wonder what’s next for the veteran quarterback after this. Will he have enough motivation to get back on the gridiron after this kind of injury at 40? Or will he call it a career?

It’s too early to tell and it will only be up to him, but Rodgers’ future is already a talking point around the league. Robert Saleh hasn’t addressed this topic with A-Rod yet, but he doesn’t expect the 4x MVP to go out like this.
