Aaron Rodgers’ offseason saga has reached new frustration levels for NFL fans. Nearly a month after his release from the New York Jets, the four-time MVP has yet to decide on his playing future. While the waiting game continues, a resurfaced comment from Rodgers has many fans accusing him of deception.
Following the Jets’ Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins, Rodgers told reporters, “I’m not gonna hold anyone up.” At the time, it seemed clear that he would make a swift decision about his future. But with weeks passing and no clarity, fans call out the quarterback for what they see as a misleading statement.

Others simply want closure. “Just want a decision at this point,” one user said, summarizing the sentiment of many NFL followers.

Another perspective defends Rodgers’ statement within the context of his tenure with the Jets. “He was speaking of the Jets only, since at that time they were his only option. He kept his word!” a fan pointed out.
He was speaking of the Jets only cuz at that time they were his only choice of playing being on the roster and all. He kept his word!

Despite the backlash, Rodgers remains silent on his next move. Meanwhile, teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the rumored suitors, continue their offseason plans with or without him. Whether he ultimately plays in 2025 or not, one thing is clear: Rodgers’ words and actions remain under a microscope, and fans won’t stop scrutinizing until he makes a decision.
