The Vikings have been linked to free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers in recent weeks. Minnesota is Rodgers' preferred destination, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't exactly squash the rumors when asked about Rodgers on Wednesday. "For me to sit here and say that anything's 100 percent forever, that's just not the job," Adofo-Mensah said. "We're responding to scenarios and different information as it comes. So obviously things can change, but right now we're really happy with our [quarterback] room and we're going to look to upgrade it in different ways." Adofo-Mensah added that J.J. McCarthy as the starting QB is "the outcome we want" and "the outcome we're headed towards."

The Giants have agreed to a two-year deal with QB Jameis Winston. NFL Network reports that it's worth $8 million total, clear backup money at the position. FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz adds, however, that incentives could push it as high as $16 million. Winston spent last year with the Browns after four seasons with the Saints. He turned 31 in January.

The Jets will release QB Aaron Rodgers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The move has been expected for a while but will become official after 4 pm ET on Wednesday. The Jets are taking on $49 million in dead money by dumping Rodgers. He's coming off an underwhelming season, resulting in a 5-12 record. Rodgers averaged just 229 passing yards per game on 6.7 yards per attempt -- tied for his worst mark as a starter.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jets are "taking calls" on a potential trade for WR Davante Adams. If the team can't move him that way, it's expected to release Adams. The WR carries $38.3 million cap hits for each of the two years remaining on his contract. According to Spotrac, though, the Jets would save more than $60 million in cap space over that span by unloading Adams.

Fox's Jay Glazer reports that the Jets recently told QB Aaron Rodgers that they're "moving on from him." That reportedly came in a meeting Rodgers had flown back to New Jersey for. So not only should we expect the Jets to be in the market for a new QB, but Rodgers also appears to be interested in playing in 2025.

The Jets are hiring Aaron Glenn as their new HC, according to multiple reports. It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was the Jets' first-round pick back in 1994. He played eight seasons with the team, earning two Pro Bowl nods. Glenn played through the 2008 season and took his first coaching job in 2014. He was a DBs coach for the Browns and Saints before taking over as Lions DC in 2021. Detroit climbed from 31st in points allowed in Glenn's first season to seventh this past year, despite a ton of injuries. We'll see who Glenn chooses to run his offense. We've heard current Lions QBs coach Mark Brunell mentioned as a candidate. Of course, the biggest question in New York is whether QB Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2025 season. Stay tuned.

The forecast for today's Jets-Bills game calls for a 45-60% chance of rain throughout the contest with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts around 30 mph. They're far from ideal conditions but shouldn't kill either passing game. The game still has a 44.5-point over/under, with the Bills implied for 27.25 points. We're not adjusting our projections for this one.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. Rodgers said early in the week that he has a minor MCL injury, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be a factor this weekend.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's dealing with what he called a minor MCL injury but is clearly on track to start Sunday's game vs. the Bills.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is "uncertain" for Sunday's game vs. the Bills due to a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll look for more details on the injury and track Rodgers' status throughout the week. His absence would put QB Tyrod Taylor under center for New York. He's a capable backup but would be a downgrade for WRs Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Rodgers has played well lately, completing 64% of his passes and 8.0 yards per attempt with five TDs over his last three games.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had one of his best games of the season in today’s loss to the Dolphins, throwing for 339 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs. Sunday marked his first game over 300 yards since December 12, 2021.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that it's "increasingly likely" that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers will be placed on IR or benched over the next few weeks. Russini adds that "no decisions have been made yet." But it's become clear over the last month that Rodgers has no future with the Jets beyond 2024, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the team pull the plug early.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini writes that there's "no guarantee" that QB Aaron Rodgers will be back with the Jets in 2025. Rodgers has had a mostly underwhelming season so far, averaging 6.4 yards per pass attempt with 15 TDs vs. seven INTs. The Jets don't owe Rodgers any guaranteed money beyond this season but would pay him $37.5 million if they retain him for 2025. The Jets would own the eighth overall pick of the draft if the season ended today. Rodgers said this week that he wants to continue playing next year, and he'd certainly land a job elsewhere if the Jets decide to move on.

The Jets offense struggled mightily as a whole, but WR Davante Adams' 13 targets led the team. He only was able to bring in six for 31 yards. Teammate Garrett Wilson only caught five of six targets for 41 yards while RB Breece Hall had 83 total yards in the game and no scores.
