For Jets, keeping or releasing Aaron Rodgers will be expensive
The New York Jets face a significant decision regarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose contract carries substantial salary-cap implications. With no guaranteed money left in his deal, the Jets could incur a $49 million dead charge if he is cut or retires, which could be spread over two years. If he returns, the cap charge is manageable, but it could lead to a $63 million dead charge in 2026 due to an option bonus. The team is also undergoing a search for a new general manager and head coach, with owner Woody Johnson enlisting outside help for the process. Meanwhile, other players like Jordan Travis and Haason Reddick are also in the spotlight for various reasons, including injuries and contract incentives.
