Jets announce split with Aaron Rodgers, wish him success

Now it's official: The Aaron Rodgers era with the New York Jets is over.

Nearly two years after welcoming him with a large-scale news conference, the Jets said goodbye to Rodgers on Thursday with a news release that included statements of gratitude from team officials.

The Jets didn't give a reason for the decision, saying only they met last week with Rodgers and "shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback," coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey said in a joint statement.

"It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures," they said. "We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization and wish him success moving forward."

Loved him in Green Bay, he got the Pack 5 more yards extra when he would speed up his snap count when the opposing team was getting off the field to slowly. He was a gawd of doing that. Got them a Super Bowl, but now??? He just needs to retire.
