Jets End 2024 Season with More Questions Than Answers

The New York Jets 2024 season ended Sunday almost the same way it started, with lots of flash, and nothing but questions and confusion afterward. The Jets won their season finale 32-20 over the Miami Dolphins, and Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdowns, which gave the Hall of Famer 502 touchdown passes in his career, in what could be his final game with Gang Green; perhaps even as a pro football player.

But, the aura of ‘what’s next’ hung over MetLife Stadium like a thick fog.

Questions abound about the future of Rodgers, who could either retire or opt to return in 2025. And should he choose to play again next season, it likely won’t be in New York.

Questions also abound about who will coach the team, and who will be the General Manager of the team moving forward.

With each touchdown that Rodgers threw, his smile grew wider, and one could see in his eyes and the eyes of his teammates they were all very reflective. They were enjoying the moment together in a lost season. 

Whether Rodgers returns or not is ultimately up to owner Woody Johnson, despite what he might say in the New York Post, where he indicated that it would be the new coach and GM. 

And speaking of the GM and coach search, it's going to be extensive. Lions Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn; former Jets coach Rex Ryan; Steelers Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith; Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy; 49ers QB coach Brian Griese; Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores, and Vikings QB coach Josh McCown name just a few of the candidates the Jets for Head Coach. 

 The Jets are also looking to interview Chiefs Assistant GM Mike Borgonzi and former Colts GM Ryan Grigson for their vacant General Manager spot. 

Buckle up folks.
