With multiple veteran players potentially on their way out of New York, Rodgers made clear he’s hoping the team will retain punter Thomas Morstead and kicker Greg Zuerlein.

“We had last year an incredible kicker and punter. Both older guys, which I love. But Thomas Morstead was our punter, he had a phenomenal season,” Rodgers said. “He’s in his late 30s but takes care of himself incredibly well. He was just a weapon for us, with hang time, with inside-the-20 punts, inside-the-10 punts.

“They were game changing plays.”

Morstead, who turns 38 on Thursday, had a fantastic first season with the Jets in 2023, and Rodgers expressed the importance of bringing him back in order to maintain their edge on special teams.

“And then Greg Zuerlein, our kicker, had a phenomenal year. I think he only missed two kicks all year. He’s just a weapon, and he can hit it from anywhere. He can hit it from 60 [yards]. Every kick is a touchback for us. Those are weapons, so, I’d like to see those guys back, for sure,” he added.

Zuerlein, 36, converted on 35-of-38 field goal attempts last season and 15-of-16 extra points. Both he and Morstead seemed to have left a strong impression on Rodgers, prompting the star quarterback to publicly hope New York brings them back in 2024.
