During his first press conference since a week of organizational upheaval, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers seemed to tie his future with the team to the question of whether interim coach Jeff Ulbrich becomes the permanent head coach.

After a report stated that team owner Woody Johnson wanted to bench Rodgers early in 2024 surfaced, the team has gone on to deny any of those thoughts ever taking place. Most recently, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said there is “absolutely” no such conversations happening.

Rodgers said he wants to come back to play for the Jets in 2025 … if he decides he wants to play in 2025. What’s completely out of his control, however, is whether the Jets will want him.
