Rodgers says he's undecided about playing next season, but Jets are his 'first option' if he returns

Aaron Rodgers is still contemplating whether he wants to play football next season. And if he does return, he prefers it to be with the New York Jets.

The star quarterback, who turns 41 next Monday, denied a recent report that he wants to keep playing next year — but not with the Jets.

"I came here to win here, so I'm not jumping off ship," Rodgers said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “I don’t even know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option.”

The Athletic reported last week that Rodgers had already decided to play next season, but would want to play for another team. He and the Jets have struggled to a 3-8 start and owner Woody Johnson fired coach Robert Saleh last month and replaced him with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. He dismissed general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday.
