Aaron Rodgers' time as the New York Jets starting quarterback may be coming to an end. Rodgers wants to "finish the season the right way" and be on the field with his team, but if things don't turn around for the future Hall of Famer, the Jets may want to part ways in the offseason.

Regardless if the Jets keep Rodgers on the roster next season or not, they are likely to draft a quarterback, Shanna McCarriston of CBS Sports reports. This according to NFL Network. At 3-9, the Jets would have the No. 6 pick if the season ended today.

Some top quarterback prospects include Miami's Cam Ward, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Texas' Quinn Ewers.

Rodgers needs to play better to remain on New York's roster, a notion the veteran seemingly resents. Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly wanted to bench the Super Bowl champion after Week 4 and there are reports that Rodgers is a long shot to spend a third year in a Jets uniform.

Even if Rodgers wants to remain in New York, the Jets may not feel the same way, considering the struggles from this season from the aging quarterback. Rodgers believes his reputation precedes him and should be enough for a team to buy in.

"I think it is ridiculous, with all due respect," Rodgers told the media on Wednesday, responding to the reports that he needs to play well these last five weeks to save his job. "If they want me to stay, fantastic. If it takes these five games, maybe they don't know what I bring to the table, but that being said, I'd love to play really friggin' well the last five games."
