Aaron Rodgers' much-hyped but overwhelmingly disappointing two-year tenure with the New York Jets is officially over. The team released the four-time MVP, as expected, and the 41-year-old quarterback can now join another team as a free agent for the first time in his career — if he stills intends to play a 21st NFL season.

Lindenhurst’s Jeremy Ruckert, another teammate of Fields' at Ohio State, is the most productive tight end on the Jets’ roster. They could try to re-sign Tyler Conklin or draft one at the position. Penn State’s Tyler Warren is a possibility with seventh overall pick.

It’s been expected for the New York Jets to either trade or release veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On Wednesday, the franchise made that move official, while the rumor mill remains hot that the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants could finally make a move for the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
