NFL fans will be closely watching this offseason to see what Aaron Rodgers decides to do with the next step in his career – will he continue another year in the league or call it quits?
Rodgers had a tumultuous two years with the New York Jets, playing only one full season and throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns. The team was 5-12 this year. If he chooses to play again, Rodgers would be 42 next December.

Brett Favre, Rodgers’ predecessor with the Green Bay Packers, told TMZ Sports in a recent interview that he thinks there’s still some juice left in the 10-time Pro Bowler.
“I think I’m right that he has a lot of juice left in the tank,” he said. “”…I just think he can still play. You saw it in this last match. You say, “Well, where was that?” »
“That’s the Aaron Rodgers we know. He makes all the throws, guys respond to him, they love playing with him. Where has it been all year?”
Favre admitted he was “wrong” about how he thought Rodgers would have performed with the Jets.

“If there is a little idea in him that wants to play and prove that he can still do it at a high level, then I would tell him to do it,” he added.
Rodgers showed glimmers of what he could bring to the table, but the lack of consistency ultimately plagued the offense.
On top of that, the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas midway through the season.
