Part 2/9:
The Jets are officially moving on from Aaron Rodgers, a decision that has sent ripples through both fan communities and the media. According to O'Connor, the Jets articulated their decision to let him go in a way that left little room for speculation about his return. The phrasing used in the press release indicated a definitive break rather than a mutual agreement to part ways. O'Connor, who knows Rodgers well, finds it shocking that the quarterback would plead to stay since Rodgers has never been one to beg for approval—an important insight into the quarterback's pride and persona.
