New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to join a winner, and the Minnesota Vikings could soon have a vacancy at starting QB.

Aaron Rodgers made it sound Thursday like the Jets' incoming new general manager and coach, not owner Woody Johnson, will determine whether he's back with the team in 2025.

Numerous analysts and critics noted Rodgers spent much of the season playing like a veteran who didn't "want to get hit anymore" coming off the torn Achilles he suffered in September 2023.
