Alright, so the NFL offseason has been straight-up chaotic, but the Jets? Yeah, they just dropped one of the wildest moves yet. This decision could either be a major W or come back to haunt them in the most Jets way possible. But before we spill all the tea, let’s rewind real quick.

So boom—the Jets just officially kicked Aaron Rodgers to the curb. After all that hype and all the ‘Jets are gonna be different this year’ talk, it’s over. They’re designating him as a post-June 1 cut, which means they’re eating $49 million in dead money. They’ll carry a $21M cap hit until June 1, and then it drops to $14M, saving them $ 7M. Sounds decent, right? Until you realize they still have to take a brutal $35M dead cap hit in 2026.

Let’s be real—Rodgers’ time in New York was straight-up cursed. Dude lasted four snaps before his Achilles said, ‘I’m out.’ The Jets spent the rest of the season in shambles, finishing 5-12, firing some coaches, and missing the playoffs again (14 years and counting, btw). The whole Rodgers era ended up being a very expensive fever dream.

But the Jets didn’t just sit there crying about it. Instead, they went ahead and signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40M deal, with $30M guaranteed. Fields, who was with the Steelers last season, is young, mobile, and brings way less drama than Rodgers. The Jets are handing him the keys and hoping he can actually turn this thing around.

This move is just one piece of a massive Jets reset. They’ve got a new head coach (Aaron Glenn), a new GM (Darren Mougey), and a whole new vibe. They’re trying to cook up a surprise season, kinda like how the Mets randomly popped off last year when no one believed in them. Can the Jets do the same? TBD.

And it’s not just the Jets making moves—NFL free agency has been wild. Sam Darnold just secured the bag with a three-year deal in Seattle, and Daniel Jones is apparently heading to the Colts on a one-year “prove you’re not washed” deal. Basically, the QB market is moving fast.

Meanwhile, teams are playing roster Tetris. The Eagles are cleaning house to free up cap space, probably letting go of some big names. And over in Buffalo, the Bills just shipped Kaiir Elam to the Cowboys for some draft picks, clearly tweaking their defense for next season.

So yeah, the Jets releasing Rodgers is a massive shake-up, but the real question is—did they fumble the bag, or is this the move that finally breaks their playoff curse? Either way, Jets fans are stressed.

Rodgers’ Giants Dream Might Be DOA as Russ Pulls Up

Aaron Rodgers might’ve just fumbled big time. The Giants were lowkey the perfect spot for him, but guess who’s sliding in? Russell Wilson. And if the Giants actually sign Russ before Rodgers makes a move, his NYC dreams might be dead on arrival.

Wilson, fresh off his Steelers run, is out here speed-running free agency. First stop? The Browns. But the real drama is in New York, where he’s meeting with the Giants right after. Translation? The Giants are not about to sit around waiting for Rodgers to stop being cryptic and make a decision. And honestly, can you blame them? The Browns are also sniffing around Russ despite trading for Kenny Pickett, so yeah, things are getting real interesting.

Aaron Rodgers had a clear path to the Giants, but now? Not so much. He’s still deciding between them, the Steelers, and the Vikings, but New York isn’t about to get played. If Wilson signs first, Rodgers is straight-up cooked when it comes to the Big Apple.

Over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are still QB shopping after missing out on Justin Fields (who’s now chilling with the Jets). They want Rodgers, but if he keeps dragging his feet, don’t be shocked if they just run it back with Wilson instead.

So yeah, Rodgers thought he had all the leverage, but the Giants are out here moving with or without him. If they lock in Wilson first, Rodgers better start speed-dialing other teams ASAP.
