Jets have gotten the full Aaron Rodgers Experience except the winning — it’s time for that to change
NY Post
The Jets knew what they were signing up for when they sent a package of draft picks to Green Bay 14 months ago in exchange for Aaron Rodgers.
The move was made in hopes of solving the quarterback riddle that has perplexed this team for decades. They acquired a four-time MVP who is one of the most gifted passers in the history of the NFL.
But Rodgers does not come without some baggage. OK, he comes with more baggage than a trans-Atlantic flight. There are the appearances on “The Pat McAfee Show.” The conspiracy theory podcasts. His outspokenness on COVID vaccines. His desire to voice his opinion on everything from Vladimir Putin to UFOs. His flirtation with running for vice president.
As the kids would say, he’s a lot.
That popped up again Tuesday when Jets coach Robert Saleh walked behind a microphone just before 11 a.m. and announced Rodgers would be skipping the team’s mandatory minicamp.
“He had an event that was very important to him, which he communicated,” Saleh said.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
