As the hours tick by with the New York Giants awaiting word from a 41-year-old who quarterbacked a 5-12 team last season, there’s an inescapable feeling that they picked a terrible time to be on the hunt for a QB savior.

After just 18 games, quarterback Aaron Rodgers's tenure on the New York Jets is officially over. The Jets will formally cut ties with the future Hall of Famer at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday afternoon, according to a afternoon report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

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.
