Aaron Rodgers 2025 Cap Hit. Releasing rodgers would either put the jets on the hook for a $49 million dead cap hit in 2025 or a much lower $14 million hit in 2025 with a $35 million hit in 2026 if he's. Though if rodgers returns to the team for the 2025 season, he will have a $35 million contract option exercised with a cap hit that the team can spread over the 2026 through.
