Aaron Rodgers wants to continue playing in the NFL next season - just not for the New York Jets.
That is according to reports during the Jets' bye week, which saw the quarterback enjoy a homecoming at the University of California, Berkeley.
Rodgers, 40, has endured a miserable couple of seasons at the Jets following his blockbuster move in 2023.
Last September, the four-time MVP played just four snaps of his debut before tearing his Achilles against the Buffalo Bills.
The quarterback returned this year following a long period of rehab but the Jets are 3-8 after another dreadful campaign in the AFC East.
Now, according to the Athletic, Rodgers is ready to call time on his stint in the Big Apple. It's claimed that the 40-year-old wants to play in 2025 but for a different team.

Head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas have both been fired in recent weeks as owner Woody Johnson searches for a solution to the team's issues.
The Athletic reports that Rodgers has endured a 'strained' relationship with Johnson for months.
It's also claimed that New York is considering placing the quarterback on injured reserve as their season drifts towards further disappointment.
According to The Athletic, some NFL executives even believe the veteran quarterback could be cut in a similar move to Daniel Jones' exit from the Giants.
Earlier this week, reports said that Jets owner Johnson wanted to bench Rodgers after the dismal Week 4 home defeat by the Denver Broncos.
Those in attendance at that meeting resisted but Rodgers, 40, has since guided the Jets to a horrendous 3-8 record.
