Aaron Rodgers' time with the New York Jets came to an end in February 2025. As rumors of his impending departure spread, the team officially announced that they had parted ways with the quarterback. A week earlier, during the 2025 Super Bowl, rumors surfaced online that fans were asking whether the athlete would be coaching the Philadelphia Eagles. Is it true — will Aaron be working as a coach after a decade-long football career?
Read on to find out the truth behind the coaching rumors and what happened between Aaron and the Jets.
Aaron and the Jets parted ways, head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mugi announced on February 13, 2025. According to the Jets' Instagram account, the statement read: «Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at the quarterback position. It was important to have this conversation now to provide clarity and give each of us enough time to plan for our future actions. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization, and wish him success in the future».
Team chairman Woody Johnson added in a separate statement: «I personally want to thank Aaron for his time with the New York Jets. His arrival in 2023 was met with overwhelming excitement, and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his career in the Hall of Fame. From day one, he embodied what it meant to be a New York Jet, embraced our fans, and immersed himself in our city. That is what I will remember most when I look back on his time here».
During the Super Bowl on February 9, 2025, some viewers were confused about who the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles was. Many social media users turned to TikTok and X to point out the resemblance between Aaron and coach Nick Sirianni. Some fans even shared images of both side by side.
Although Aaron may look similar to Nick, Aaron is not working as a coach for the Eagles. The NFL player has never even played for the birds. Before joining the Jets in 2023, Aaron played for the Green Bay Packers from 2005 to 2022.
It is still unclear where Aaron will play now that he is no longer a member of the Jets. Additionally, fans also do not know if Aaron will hang up his gear and retire. So, while we wait for Aaron to announce his future plans, the New York Post reported that he may become a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers through free agency
