The New York Jets' Aaron Rodgers experiment has been a disaster and could end in the offseason.
According to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, Rodgers met with the Jets, who informed him that they plan to move in a different direction at quarterback.
Glazer believes that Rodgers' decision to discuss his future with the team indicates that he plans to play in 2025, despite rumblings that the 20-year veteran could hang up his cleats in retirement.
From the perspective of quarterback need, several teams may be interested in Rodgers, who threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63 percent completion rate this past season.
Let's take a look at five landing spots for Rodgers.
Indianapolis Colts

The Athletic's James Boyd expects the Indianapolis Colts to roll with Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback in 2025. But remember, the team had a quick hook for him this past season, benching the second-year signal-caller for Joe Flacco midway through the campaign.
With Rodgers reportedly set to hit the free-agent market, the Colts may look for a proven quarterback.
General manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen could be on the hot seat heading into the 2025 term.
In eight seasons under Ballard, Indianapolis has a 62-69-1 record. Steichen is 17-17 as the club's lead skipper in two terms.
In recent years, the Colts have signed quarterbacks in the latter stages of their careers, such as Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan. Rodgers could be next in line.
In Indianapolis, Rodgers would have a decent offensive line, an All-Pro running back in Jonathan Taylor, and a solid receiver group that includes Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Adonai Mitchell. He could move the needle for a stagnant Colts squad.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders may be the least likely of the possible landing spots for Rodgers, but they have a need at the position and $92.5 million in cap space.
The Raiders have a new general manager, John Spytek, and head coach, Pete Carroll.
When Carroll became the Seattle Seahawks head coach in 2010, he had 35-year-old Matt Hasselbeck as his starting quarterback. Spytek was in Tampa Bay when Tom Brady, a minority stakeholder with the Raiders, signed with the Buccaneers at 42 years old.
So, the Raiders may not oppose bringing in Rodgers, even at his age, as an upgrade over Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew.
That said, if Rodgers wants to bring Davante Adams along with him to his next destination, it may be a bit difficult to convince the three-time All-Pro receiver to return to Las Vegas after he requested a trade from the team back in October.
Rodgers would have star rookie tight end Brock Bowers, but he would have to be OK with the plan for a rebuilding offense under new play-caller Chip Kelly.
New York Giants
The New York Giants don't have a quarterback under contract in 2025. If they're interested in Rodgers, he could stay in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and be the clear-cut starter for Big Blue.
The Giants have the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, but they're behind two teams, the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, that may take quarterbacks.
The Titans watched Will Levis struggle through his second term. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has torn his Achilles twice since October.
The Giants can wait to see how the draft order shakes out or take a proactive approach to addressing the position during free agency.
Also, Rodgers told reporters he would be open to mentoring a young quarterback. Thus, the Giants can sign him as the bridge-gap signal-caller and still take a passer with the No. 3 overall pick to solidify their short- and long-term plans at the position.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best fit for Rodgers. At 41, he could play with a playoff team and bring two-time teammate Davante Adams for the ride.
The Steelers have question marks at quarterback and wide receiver.
Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer doesn't believe Russell Wilson will be back in Pittsburgh. Barring an early extension, Justin Fields will be a free agent in March.
Steelers owner Art Rooney II has highlighted the wide receiver group as a position of need.
"I think we have positions in the wide receiver room we're going to have to address" and "I think the wide receiver room is an area we've got to look at improving," Rooney said to reporters.
The Steelers have the foundation to bring in a couple of star players, Rodgers and Adams, and make it work for the short term as they try to get over the one-and-done playoff hump.
Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans can address the quarterback position in many different ways. They have the No. 1 overall pick and $44 million in cap space.
While some expect the Titans to take a quarterback with the first pick, ESPN's Dan Graziano pumped the brakes on that thought.
"There is still a long way to go until April's draft and a lot of evaluations to make before then, but I've talked to multiple people who think the Titans could trade out of the top pick and look for their QB solution elsewhere," Graziano wrote.
When the dust settles, Tennessee will probably select Miami product Cam Ward, though the club may consider Rodgers if it feels that none of the quarterbacks in the class are ready to start as rookies.
With Rodgers in the fold, the Titans can take an old-school approach with their quarterback plan and sit a rookie for a year full year or two, or they can pass on this class and go with a bridge-gap option for the short term.
