Eagle-eyed NFL fans spot key Aaron Rodgers detail in Jets video that could signal his future
NFL fans who intently watched a recent New York Jets video discovered a key detail about Aaron Rodgers that could signal his future: He visibly cried in the locker room after the win over the Dolphins.
Sunday’s season-ending victory improved New York’s record to 5-12, failing to reach the postseason. Yet at the end of a certain era, Rodgers clearly owed a lot to his teammates.
Rodgers has not yet indicated his intentions for next season and beyond, or whether a door is open for him to return to the Jets for the 2025 season.
The quarterback is 41 and he knows his Jets tenure hasn’t gone according to plan. His first season in New York ended four offensive plays with a torn Achilles tendon.
Rodgers watched as the Jets’ general manager and head coach were fired to try to rightly steer the ship. Team owner Woody Johnson traded for Davante Adams in hopes of making a late run for a postseason berth. Nothing worked.
Now comes a crossroads for the Jets and Rodgers, who may be the team’s starting quarterback come September and may never play an NFL snap again.

The visible crying shows how the past two seasons have had an effect on Rodgers, regardless of the results.
With the arrival of a new head coach and general manager, things will certainly be revamped significantly this season, even if Rodgers is firmly in the Jets’ core.
Rodgers’ dream of leaving Green Bay for the Big Apple officially ended after the win over Miami.
The Jets have a lot of non-Rodgers issues that can be addressed this season. And sometimes the Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, showed up in green and white.
The idea of winning a Super Bowl with a quarterback in his 40s (Rodgers turns 42 in December) is a strategy that once worked.
Tom Brady, the now Fox commentator. led the Buccaneers to a title at age 43 during the pandemic NFL season.
It won’t take long to know what path Rodgers takes.
