Two seasons ago, Rodgers decided to move on from Green Bay and signed with the New York Jets. <\/p><p>However, his first season in New York was cut short by an Achilles tendon rupture in the opening game.

Following the 2024 season, they had been in negotiations with both <strong>Justin Fields<\/strong> and <strong>Russell Wilson<\/strong>, who were part of the team&rsquo;s roster last year.
