Aaron Rodgers is still salty with how the Jets ended their relationship with him. During Super Bowl week, Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported that Rodgers had flown out to New Jersey to talk to them about his future with the Jets, only to get rejected by team execs.
On Thursday, Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee show and gave his side of the story. According to Rodgers, he flew across the country to meet with the Jets’ new head coach, Aaron Glenn, only to be quickly told that they were not interested in his services anymore and would be “moving in another direction.”
“Listen, that was an interesting two years to say the least. I figured that when I flew across country to my dime there would be a conversation. The confusing thing to me is I went out there, I meet with the coach, we start talking … he runs out of the room. I’m like that’s strange. Then he comes back with the GM and I’m like all right. So we sit down and I think we’re going to have this long conversation and 20 seconds in and he (Glenn) goes: You sure you wanna play football? And I said yes and he said “we’re going in another direction.”
Rodgers rips the #Jets, Glenn specifically, for how they informed him on moving on.
“The confusing thing is I went out there, we start talking … he (AG) runs out the room.”
Rodgers says he & Glenn got into it, telling each other, “You don’t know me”

Rodgers was annoyed that the Jets had made him fly to New Jersey to reject him.
“I was kind of shocked, not shocked because I didn’t think that was a possibility… but shocked because I just flew cross country and you have told this to me on the phone.”
