Jets cut Aaron Rodgers to improve salary cap flexibility

The New York Jets have cut quarterback Aaron Rodgers to avoid a significant salary cap hit. Keeping him would have resulted in a $49 million charge this year, impacting their financial flexibility. The Jets' decision reflects a shift in team management and coaching philosophy. The new regime prefers a more collective approach, which contrasts with Rodgers' individualistic style. Despite his release, multiple teams are reportedly interested in signing Rodgers. His potential move to Minnesota has sparked speculation about a possible revival of his career, reminiscent of Brett Favre's time with the Vikings.
