Aaron Rodgers’ stint with the New York Jets could still extend beyond this season despite plenty of losses and disappointments. The star quarterback will turn 41 on Dec. 2. He insisted Wednesday that the Jets’ 3-7 start during a tumultuous season has not changed his stance that he wants to play beyond this season.

More recently, the team traded for six-time Pro Bowler Davante Adams, another old friend who's still skilled, but past his prime. This was after firing head coach Robert Saleh and demoting Hackett, moves that clubs typically make once they're out of playoff contention. The Jets, though, hoped that these moves would create a spark.
