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.

The New York Jets have made a decision regarding Aaron Rodgers, and it’s not a cheap one. The Jets will be releasing Rodgers as of Wednesday. The move means the Jets will have to eat $49 million in dead money against their salary cap over the next two years.

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.
