Aaron Rodgers makes feelings known about his NFL future amid Jets turmoil: "I need a break"

Aaron Rodgers turned out not to be the savior that the New York Jets had hoped for. They extended their playoff drought to 14 years, which is longer than any other team not just in the NFL, but the NHL, NBA, and MLB as well.

In his debut season, he tore his Achilles which saw him ruled out for the entire season. And in his second season, the Jets are at 4-12, with just one more game to go before the regular season wraps up.

With the Jets having fired their general manager, Joe Douglas, and head coach, Robert Saleh, could they be looking at a change in the QB position itself? Aaron Rodgers hasn't given an answer on whether he will return in 2025 as the Jets QB.

However, on Wednesday, he put a timeline to his decision but first stressed that he needed a mental and physical break to deal with the current season. Only after that will he begin to make a decision.

"I need a break mentally. I don't want to make a decision until I've been able to rest mentally and physically," Rodgers said. "I just need a break to refresh, put my feet in the sand, and see where I'm at after that."

He revealed that he would have an answer well before March when the free agency deadline is due. One of the main things that needs to happen before he takes a call is for the Jets to appoint a new GM.

"March is free agency, I don't think we're going to get that far because there's going to be a regime change here with the GM and then I'll either get a call or have a conversation and go from there."

Colin Cowherd floats Las Vegas Raiders as Aaron Rodgers' next destination

With analysts and fans speculating whether Aaron Rodgers will play in the NFL or if the 41-year-old will retire in 2025, Colin Cowherd said that if he does play, the Raiders would be an attractive destination.

"I think Aaron's got about a two-team market. I could see the Raiders because they won again today," Cowherd said on his show. "I could see the Raiders, if they're like, 'We're not going to move up for Cam [Ward] or a Shedeur [Sanders]. We're just not going to move up.' I could see them going with like a Kirk Cousins or an Aaron Rodgers for a year. I really could, for one year."

Will Rodgers return as a Jet next year or will he end up elsewhere?
