Tough as nails
Star quarterback Rodgers dismissed by the Jets
The New York Jets are parting ways with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "Last week, we met with Aaron and informed him that we wanted to go in a different direction at the quarterback position," coach Aaron Glenn and manager Darren Mougey said in a statement released by the franchise on Thursday.
The conversation was important to have clarity, they said. Rodgers, who turned 41 in December, joined the Jets in April 2023. He had previously played 18 seasons for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL and led the team to a Super Bowl win in 2010. Last season, he returned from a torn Achilles tendon and played in 17 games.
Record drought
But even with the star quarterback, the team from New York failed to make the play-offs, the Jets celebrated five wins and conceded twelve defeats.

The Jets recently introduced their former player Glenn as their new head coach. The Jets drafted at the seventh position in April's talent draft.
