Ahead of the New York Jets' Week 18 finale and with his NFL playing future far from certain, Aaron Rodgers expressed "gratitude" on Wednesday for his tenure as quarterback of the team. Rodgers, 41, shared a positive view on his time with the Jets despite a lack of success unbecoming of the former NFL MVP and organizational instability emblematic of reported dysfunction within the franchise.

Former Jets coach Eric Mangini said that Rodgers is doing "everything he can to get cut" by owner Woody Johnson while appearing on the show Friday. Mangini's speculation was rooted from how Rodgers referenced Johnson's teenaged son, Brick Johnson, in his statement.

NFL and Packers fans had some thoughts after Aaron Rodgers said the last two years with the Jets have been the best of his life.
