The New York Jets' disaster of a season continued on Tuesday as the team fired general manager Joe Douglas after over five years with the team.

Although Douglas had made some solid moves for the Jets throughout his tenure, especially in the draft, he failed to create a playoff contender, which seemed to be what led to the decision by owner Woody Johnson.

Now that Douglas is out of the picture, and New York's playoff chances are slimmer than ever at 3-8, it seems that Aaron Rodgers' time with the Jets will likely end after this season. However, the chances that they'll be able to find a suitor in the trade market for a 41-year-old quarterback are extremely low, so they'll likely have to cut him.

If the Jets decide to cut Rodgers using a post-June 1 designation, they would free up $9.5 million in cap space for 2025, but they would also take on $49 million in dead money over the next two years due to his contract.

While $49 million is a massive number, it would get worse if they decide to keep Rodgers for 2025 ($63 million in dead cap), meaning cutting him this offseason is the better move.

The Jets also have to consider Davante Adams, whose primary reason for joining the team was Rodgers. If New York decides to release him as well, they would free up close to $30 million in 2025 cap space, while taking on about $8 million in dead cap.

Regardless of what happens, the Jets' new general manager will certainly have their hands full looking to rebuild the team after this season.
