Aaron Rodgers disputed a report that said he wants to continue his NFL career in 2025 on a team other than the New York Jets.

Appearing Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the veteran quarterback said he has yet to decide if he’ll play in 2025 — however if he does, he’d like to play for the Jets.

“I haven’t told anybody in my life that I wanna play in 2025 and not on the Jets,” Rodgers said. “So, that’s 100 percent false.

“I actually said the opposite, that I’m gonna wait and see what happens at the end of the season and if they want me back, and what happens with (interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich) and what happens with the offensive staff and obviously the GM at the time, and then they just fired Joe (Douglas). There’s a lot of things out of my control when it comes to that. But I really have enjoyed my time in New York.

“… I don’t even know if I wanna play yet, but New York would be my first option.”

The Athletic previously reported that Rodgers wanted to play for another team in 2025.

Rodgers, who turns 41 on Saturday, acknowledged the obvious that the season hasn’t gone that way he would’ve liked for the Jets (3-8).

Rodgers returned this year after missing all but four plays of his first season in New York in 2023, when he tore his left Achilles tendon in the season opener.

His comeback season hasn’t gone according to plan, though. Rodgers has completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,442 yards and 17 touchdowns with seven interceptions — with his completion percentage, yards per completion and touchdown rate ranking among the lowest of his 20-year career.

Rodgers is under contract for next season with a $2.5 million base salary plus a $35 million option bonus.
