As Aaron Rodgers' tenure with the New York Jets draws to a close, it's reported that the 41-year-old quarterback has been presented with numerous opportunities for the next step in his career. Rodgers, who joined the Jets from the Green Bay Packers in 2023, will likely be disappointed with his time in the Big Apple.

His first season was marred by an Achilles injury in Week One, which sidelined him for the duration. The Jets then missed the playoffs for the 14th consecutive year after recording a 5-12 record in the 2024 campaign. The Jets have announced that Rodgers won't be part of their plans for the 2025 season, sparking speculation about whether he'll retire or find a new team.

According to , if Rodgers decides to transition into broadcasting, he could have several options. The publication suggests that many networks would be keen to hire Rodgers as an studio analyst if he retires in 2025, particularly given his impressive stint as a guest analyst during NBC's pre-game coverage of XLVI.

It's said that would certainly take a chance on Rodgers if he showed interest. However, reports suggest that Rodgers would never join FOX as a No.2 game announcer. And if he were to venture into broadcasting, a studio analyst role would be more likely.

A CBS Sports producer has also previously praised his suitability to punditry, quoted as saying: "He takes the time to think about answers. He doesn't hit a button and give you the cliched answer. He thinks about the question and gives you a different take than a lot of guys."

However, Rodgers has previously made it clear that he does not see his future in media post-retirement, reports . On The Pat McAfee Show last year, when asked about potentially joining the ranks of media pundits like or , Rodgers firmly said: "The answer is no. After this thing is done, you're not gonna see me. You'll see me maybe in Tahoe, you'll see me if I ever go back to Green Bay in four or five years, and then that's about it."

Rodgers' career on the field may yet continue for some time, as the New York Giants are reportedly keen on acquiring him for 2025. Initially eyeing Rams QB Matthew Stafford, who has since signed a restructured contract with Los Angeles, the Giants, armed with the third overall pick in the 2025 draft, are now said to be considering Rodgers, given his impressive track record.

Boasting four MVP awards, a Super Bowl victory, 10 Pro Bowl selections and an All-Decade Team honour, Rodgers is currently the active NFL leader with 62,952 passing yards and 503 touchdown passes throughout his career. After Daniel Jones was benched and subsequently let go by the Giants in November, the team will be eager to secure an experienced player, particularly given their dismal 3-14 record last season which saw them end up at the bottom of the NFC East standings.

As they prepare for the 2025 season, the Giants' pre-season tour will kick off in August, featuring matches against the Detroit Lions, Houston Texans and the Jets. Could we see Rodgers making a comeback to the MetLife Stadium in Giants blue? Only time will tell.
