Ever since Aaron Rodgers signed with the New York Jets in the 2023 NFL off-season, much has been made about the influence the four-time MVP has on the franchise. With that, there’s been lots of speculation about any potential role that Rodgers may have had with the team’s decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday.
Roughly 24 hours after the seismic news of Saleh’s firing, Rodgers publicly spoke out for the first time about the move on The Pat McAfee Show. He wasted little time in addressing rumors that he had any role whatsoever in the dismissal, which came just days after Sunday’s 23–17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
