NFL fans make wild claim about where Aaron Rodgers will end his football career

NFL fans have wild ideas about where Aaron Rodgers could play next season — and it would mirror the path of another legendary quarterback.

Rodgers’ future with the Jets appears to be in question following the firing of GM Joe Douglas, the architect of New York’s trade for the former Green Bay passer.

With the 3-8 Jets also looking for a new head coach following the firing of Robert Saleh earlier this season, the franchise is reportedly expected to make the move for Rodgers – and fans believe he would replace Packers predecessor Brett Favre could match by ending his career with the Vikings.

The idea came up for the first time Packers podcaster Andy Hermanwho claimed the scenario was ‘much closer’ to fruition than people realised.

As Herman noted, Minnesota’s Sam Darnold could be looking for a long-term contract after his impressive season, and the team’s likely quarterback of the future, rookie JJ McCarthy, will be dealing with a knee injury that has cost him all of this year .

The 40-year-old Rodgers naturally viewed the Vikings as an NFC North rival during his 18 years in Green Bay, but some fans at X agreed he could end his career in purple.

“That all makes sense and I hate it,” someone responded to Herman.

‘He follows in Farve’s footsteps. Green Bay -> Jets -> Vikings. It’s inevitable,” another added. “All great Packers end their careers with the Vikings when they’re past their prime

“lol I’ve been seeing this exact scenario for a few weeks now,” said a third.

However, others were not happy with the idea.

“He has cancer in the locker room, is over 40 and is cooked,” one said. “Like JJ [McCarthy] isn’t ready, just find another Sam Darnold type on a one year contract as plan B. Flacco/Winston/Jones etc.

‘I don’t know if Rodgers would choose that. The Jets gave him stuff, the Vikings didn’t,” chimed in a second fan.

After sending two-second picks, a sixth-rounder and a first-round pick swap to Green Bay for Rodgers, the Jets signed his old teammate Allen Lazard and hired his good friend Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator.

The Jets also traded for Rodgers’ longtime Packers teammate and close friend Davante Adams last month.

However, things haven’t gone to plan at all, as Hackett was stripped of his play-calling duties earlier this season as the team spiraled, losing seven of its last eight games.

After Douglas’ departure as GM, a source said ESPN’s rich Cimini that they would be “shocked” if Rodgers were brought back in 2025.

The quarterback’s Next year’s $23.5 million cap hit is reportedly not guaranteed.

Owner Woody Johnson has had doubts about Rodgers for quite some time The Athletics reported that he suggested benching him for Tyrod Taylor after the team’s Week 2 loss to the Broncos.

Only six players have more passing touchdowns than Rodgers’ 17 this season, but the Jets have just the 26th-ranked scoring offense (of 32) in the league at 18.5 points per game.

The Jets’ playoff chances are extremely slim with six games remaining, but Rodgers and Co. will try to salvage what could end up being his last year in New York.
