NFL Agent Says Aaron Rodgers Isn't a Team Player: Jets Are in 'Complete Disarray'

An anonymous NFL agent expressed their belief Thursday that the New York Jets are in a state of turmoil due to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Speaking to Ben Standig of The Athletic, the agent said: "There is complete disarray over there. Look at how they've handled Aaron Rodgers. Has one player had more power than him? He skipped minicamp. They have been unable to convert him into a team player. The vibe inside the building is terrible."

New York acquired Rodgers, 40, in a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers prior to the 2023 season, but he suffered a season-ending torn Achilles on the Jets' first offensive series of the campaign.

 

Now the Jets are banking on the idea that Rodgers will be able to bounce back and play at a high level in 2024 despite his age and the significance of the injury he is returning from.

Rumors of Rodgers running the roost in New York began before he was even officially traded to the organization.

In March 2023, The Athletic's Dianna Russini (h/t ESPN's Rich Cimini) reported that Rodgers had given the Jets a "wish list" of players he wanted them to acquire, including wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr., Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, and tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Rodgers denied it ever happened, calling it "ridiculous," but the Jets did end up signing both Lazard and Cobb.

After missing essentially the entire 2023 season, it was widely expected that Rodgers would have a significant presence within the Jets' offseason program, but he controversially missed the team's mandatory minicamp on June 11 and 12.

Per Fox Sports, Rodgers admitted that his absence was due to a trip to Egypt, which he planned based on the previous year's minicamp schedule.

Rodgers admitted he was fined due to the unexcused absence, but he downplayed the importance of missing the minicamp dates during an appearance on Barstool's Pardon My Take podcast (h/t Cimini), saying:

 

"They can arbitrarily put a tag on whatever week of OTAs they want and say, 'This is the minicamp week,' which makes it somehow more mandatory than the other weeks. But it was an OTA schedule. That's how words can be a little deceiving from time to time. They can make a story out of the fact that I missed minicamp, but it was really two OTA days, but [I] came to the first 10."

Regardless of whether Rodgers missed much of substance by not attending mandatory minicamp, the optics weren't good considering how heavily the Jets are relying on him to turn things around.

New York has the longest active playoff drought in the NFL at 13 seasons, and with Rodgers out last season, the Jets went 7-10 behind mediocre quarterback play from Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian.

The Jets improved their backup quarterback situation for 2024 by signing veteran Tyrod Taylor, but if Rodgers isn't healthy and productive this season, it could mean a 14th consecutive year without the postseason for Gang Green.

Came to say just this. 

Comical at this point. Videoing Reddick doing the salsa didn't work, so let's now say how in disarray the organization is anonymously. This will defintiely move the needle 

[Ghost]

This is the biggest pussiest thing I’ve seen in my life. Just pure bullsh*t. 

[BreeceHallofFame]

LOL

[RevisIsland610]

I guess it's quiet on the news front. This should get the negative nebobs blood flowing. This is about as quiet a camp as this team has ever had aside from the Reddick holdout. Rodgers has looked good and it seems like the team likes him. 

[Biggs]

As ridiculous as this report sounds it would be very Jetsy if it turned out to be true.

It's 1,000% not true. 

Just watch these guys talk about this team and the offseason. Funny it's also referencing Rodgers not present for those two practices, which the entire team has essentially come out laughing about already. This whole things is joke

Pretty stark contrast to what I watched here:

I'll believe what I watched & heard over this Bleacher report garbage.

Absolutely @Larz the timing couldn't have been any worse for the Reddick camp lol. Everyone and their mother knows it was them more than likely.

Absolutely wow what a clown show this is becoming from Reddick's camp they are desperate at this point!

Also - it’s been stated already but it could not be more obvious as to who the “anonymous agent” is.

Where’s Baghdad Bob when we really need him?😁

Rodgers on Reddick:

Quote

Obviously, we'd love for him to be here, but, you know, we don't judge him for trying to do what's best for him," Rodgers said Tuesday. "I think what's best for him is to be a Jet because this is going to be a fun ride. "But, you know, he's got to make the best decision for him and his family."

His comments and the mic’ed video released yesterday sure make Rodgers seem like the wrong target for these clowns 🤡

I just watched this this morning and then now I am reading this bullsh*t report.

Believe anonymous sources or believe the footage. Rodgers, quite literally, goes around saying hello to everyone, joking with everyone, even makes the comment "that's what it's all about" when another player thanks him for saying hi to his kid the other day. I mean, this is just downright sad at this point with these attempts to bash this franchise and his character.

This will help him get that adjustment on his contract for sure.
