Aaron Rodgers slams Aaron Glenn for contentious meeting that abruptly ended Jets career
NY Post
It sounds like Aaron Rodgers’ last meeting with the Jets was a lot like his first game with the team — short and painful.
Rodgers ripped new Jets coach Aaron Glenn during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday. It was the first time Rodgers has spoken since the Jets made the decision in February to release the quarterback.
Rodgers, 41, flew from his California home to New Jersey in early February for what he thought would be an extended meeting with Glenn and new general manager Darren Mougey. Instead, the meeting lasted just 15 minutes, and Glenn did not show “ample respect,” according to Rodgers.
Rodgers said he and Glenn began speaking, then Glenn went “running out of the room” to get Mougey.
“That was kind of strange,” Rodgers said. “I think we are going to have this long conversation. I’ve flown across the country, and 20 seconds in he goes and he leans to the edge of his seat and says, ‘So, you want to play football?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m interested.’ And he was like, ‘We’re going in a different direction at quarterback.’
“I was kind of shocked. Not shocked because I didn’t think it was a possibility, but shocked because I just flew across the country and you could’ve told me this over the phone.”
