The New York Jets’ new era under head coach Aaron Glenn is off to a dramatic start, with the franchise parting ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a tense and brief meeting that has everyone talking.
Glenn, a former Jets Pro Bowl cornerback and Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, was hired to inject new energy into a team desperate for a turnaround. But his first major decision—moving on from Rodgers—has already sparked controversy. According to Rodgers, what was expected to be a meaningful discussion about his future turned into a short, awkward exchange. Glenn reportedly asked Rodgers, “Are you sure you want to play football?” before quickly informing him the team was heading in a different direction.
Rodgers, who spoke candidly about the encounter on “The Pat McAfee Show,” described the meeting as confusing and disappointing, saying he expected more respect after flying across the country at his own expense. Glenn, meanwhile, has made it clear he wants to shift the team’s culture and avoid the distractions that have plagued past offseasons, focusing on building a new identity for the Jets.
As Glenn settles into his role, fans are left wondering what comes next for the franchise—and who will take the reins at quarterback in. One thing is certain: the Glenn era is already making headlines.
