After just 18 games, quarterback Aaron Rodgers's tenure on the New York Jets is officially over.
The Jets will formally cut ties with the future Hall of Famer at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday afternoon, according to a afternoon report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Per Schefter, Rodgers will be designated as a post-June 1 release, saving New York $7 million against the salary cap.
Rodgers spent two seasons with the Jets. The first ended virtually before it began, with Rodgers suffering a catastrophic Achilles injury mere snaps into the season.
The second was solid, if not spectacular—Rodgers threw 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. Nonetheless, New York went 5-12, fired coach Robert Saleh, and appears set to start all over again.
Rodgers, 41, is entering his 21st NFL season. He is the NFL's all-time leader in adjusted yards per attempt and passer rating.
