Aaron Rodgers will turn 41 on December 2, 2025. Last March, he was talking about continuing his career for three or four more seasons. But since then, the Jets have not really had the success they hoped for.
Obviously, nothing to change the mind of the oldest quarterback in the NFL.
On Tuesday, ESPN asked him if he plans to play in 2025.
« I believe, yes“, simply replied the quarterback.
So the bad results didn’t influence his state of mind?
« Not really, not the negative things. Not really, no. »
Aaron Rodgers, old, worn and tired?
The adventure with the Jets is, for the moment, not the success announced. The first season was marred by injury. The second is a way of the cross. Only three victories in ten games, and above all an Aaron Rodgers who no longer seems at his best level.
« I’m not playing as well as I would have liked, that’s for sure“, concedes the pitcher. “ The beauty of this sport is that it is a team game. The frustrating part is that if you’re a great competitor, you set a standard for yourself that isn’t unrealistic, and I didn’t meet that standard this year. »
Rodgers threw 15 touchdowns for 7 interceptions and signed one of the worst statistical seasons of his career.
ESPN specifies that knee pain and an hamstring, which probably stem from the long rehabilitation to restore his Achilles tendon to normal. His opponents know it, he is no longer as mobile.
But he seems determined to continue.
