The New York Jets are preparing for the 2024 season, but you always have to be thinking 10 steps ahead.
Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report named the top landing spots for Dak Prescott if he shakes free from the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. One of those top teams named was the Jets who have an unknown future with 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers has openly said he plans on playing beyond 2024, but you never know what can happen during a football season.
“The reality is, though, that we don’t know how Rodgers will perform in 2024 or if the Jets will even want him back after the season concludes. Rodgers might return to Pro Bowl form, but he’s coming off a torn Achilles and will turn 41 in December. If things don’t pan out with Rodgers this season, there’s a non-zero chance that he, head coach Robert Saleh, and general manager Joe Douglas are all gone in 2025. A new regime would then want its own signal-caller, and Prescott would probably be at the top of the wish list,” Knox explained in an article posted on Thursday, September 5.
Knox provided the pitch for the Jets pointing to its talented defense, young building blocks, and Prescott’s ability to plug and play in New York to provide “long-term quarterback stability.”
