Aaron Rodgers isn’t your typical NFL quarterback—never has been, never will be. Whether he’s doing ayahuasca, chilling in a dark retreat, or casually shredding defenses, the guy operates on his own wavelength. So, with all the buzz around whether he’ll hang up his cleats after the 5-12 season with the Jets, everyone’s looking for clues. Enter Pat McAfee, Rodgers’ go-to media guy, who thinks the QB isn’t done yet.

“I think he plays next year, yeah,” McAfee said on The Pat McAfee Show. “Just strictly because anytime this situation has arose… A.J. Hawk, who is very tight with Aaron, goes like, ‘I don’t know what else Aaron would do—yes, Aaron’s going to play football.’” Translation? Rodgers is a football junkie, and McAfee is betting on him sticking around.

McAfee went on to explain that despite Rodgers’ reputation as a free spirit, he’s still a hardcore competitor. “Everything he does—the ayahuasca, the darkness retreat—that’s for him to become a better football player,” he said. “He’s trying to work on himself to become the best version of himself to become a better football player.” Basically, Rodgers isn’t out here just vibing—he’s locked in.

Then there’s the unfinished business in Jets. Aaron Rodgers didn’t sign up for the Jets just to tear his Achilles four plays into the 2023 season and then giving another flop season. “I think he really wanted to bring a parade to New York,” McAfee said. “I think he took a lot of pride in being the guy to do it. So I think he still has that bad taste in his mouth.” If there’s one thing Rodgers doesn’t do, it’s leave on a sour note.

But there’s some drama brewing—rumors are flying that if Rodgers wants to stay with the Jets, he might have to give up his weekly appearances on McAfee’s show. “There’s an ultimatum allegedly from Scoop Town that if he wanted to come back and play for the Jets, he’d have to stop doing our show,” McAfee said. “And once again, it never ends. It just never ends.” Will Rodgers call their bluff? Or could this be the push he needs to find a new team?

I mean, the NY team had made it quite clear that they will be moving on from A-Rod, and their latest move might be the final nail in the coffin for the QB.

Jets cut Davante Adams in surprise move

While the Rodgers saga keeps rolling, the Jets just made a massive roster shake-up—cutting star wide receiver Davante Adams. The move, first reported by Adam Schefter, frees up nearly $30 million in cap space but leaves a gaping hole in New York’s offense.

Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler, landed with the Jets after a midseason trade from the Raiders. He did his thing—67 catches, 854 yards, and seven touchdowns—but the team still stumbled to a brutal 5-12 finish. With his contract set to count a ridiculous $38.2 million against the cap in 2025 (and zero guaranteed money left), the Jets decided to cut ties rather than keep trying to work around the numbers.

They reportedly shopped him around for a trade, but let’s be real—teams weren’t lining up to take on that contract. Instead, the Jets ate an $8.3 million dead-cap hit and let Adams walk, focusing on rebuilding with some financial breathing room. The big question now? What does this mean for Rodgers, who was hyped about reuniting with Adams when he first came to New York? Well, there’re no answers as of now.

As for Adams, he won’t be unemployed for long. Teams like the Chiefs, Ravens, or even a possible Packers reunion could be in the mix. No matter where he lands, he’s still one of the best in the game, and his next move could shift the balance of power in the league.
