Aaron Rodgers again mentioned a scenario where he is released by the Jets on the day after the season ends.

Once might have been a hypothetical. Twice in two weeks could be his hint that he knows something is in the works — or it could be, to use his words, a “nothingburger.”

Rodgers entertained Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show” a scenario where Jets owner Woody Johnson’s 18-year-old son Brick — whose influence over his father and the way the franchise is run was brought to light last week in a report by The Athletic — calls him to release him.

“There’s a first time for everything and there’s been a few of those this year — first time in 20 years,” Rodgers said. “I’ve never been released before. Being released would be a first. Being released by a teenager would also be a first. Hey, you know, I’m open to everything. I find the comedy in all of it. If that happens, hey, it’s a great story.”

Rodgers reiterated last week’s comments that he is open to taking a pay cut to stay with the Jets and mentoring a young quarterback who will succeed him — like he did with the Packers’ Jordan Love. All of that is contingent, of course, on him deciding not to retire, which still is a possibility.

“They haven’t decided — or maybe they have but haven’t told me — what their plans are moving forward,” Rodgers said.  “I’m guessing they are going to want to get a GM in here in the next few weeks and obviously let the GM be a part of making the coaching selection. I think there’s a world where they just say, ‘Thank you. We’re going to go in a different direction’ on Jan. 6. I think there’s also a possibility we are going to wait and see who the new staff is.”

The Jets finish the regular season at home against the Dolphins on Jan. 5.

Whether Rodgers remains with the Jets or not, he wants to see a more buttoned-up organization in the future. 

“What’s best for the Jets is not having these types of leaks all the time,” Rodgers said. “When that gets figured out, it will be a little bit easier to win. That doesn’t have a direct impact on the players on the field. But it has an impact on the culture, chemistry and overall energy of the building. That’s what needs to get better.”
