Aaron Rodgers figures his football resume speaks for itself. So the New York Jets' quarterback doesn't feel the need to use the final stretch of this season to prove his value to the team and that he should be back next season. In fact, it's a notion the four-time NFL MVP finds “ridiculous.
' quarterback doesn't feel the need to use the final stretch of this season to prove his value to the team and that he should be back next season. In fact, it's a notion the four-time NFL MVP finds “ridiculous.”
“That’s what you do when you’re a professional and the most important ability you can have is availability, which I wasn’t available last year,” Rodgers said Wednesday, referring to going down with a torn Achilles tendon four snaps into his Jets debut. “So I’d love to play the games and I love playing football. I’m hyper-competitive and I love to be out there with the guys.”
There's doubt as to whether the Jets will want him back as they rebuild with a new general manager and coach next season after the firings of Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh. Rodgers said some people have told him they hope he'll return, but “not the people who are making those decisions.” “But I've got to be healthy mentally, physically, and then there’s got to be interest on both sides. And if that’s not the case, then I’ll look at other options. But first, I’ll think about whether I’d actually want to play or not, but it usually takes a good month to get away from it, which I’ll do the first month and then we’ll see what happens.
