In addition to shedding light on their future plans, Aaron Rodgers Recent appearance In “The Pat McAfee Show” he included that he took a torch to the jets while offering very specific details about his rupture with the team.
Among other things, Rodgers told Mcafee that the jets made him fly through the country “in my own ten cents” just to tell me that he was released 20 seconds at the meeting. Rodgers was clearly upset about that and said that the jets should have called to say that they were releasing him. The jets, however, have a different point of view of that part of Rodgers’ history, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media.
“What they told me at that time was that Aaron had indicated: ‘Hey, I will be on that side of the country in this week’, and they told me: ‘Great, they enter the building'”, told Pelissero to the colleague of the media of the NFL Rich Eisen media. “And there was a continuous dialogue until that about a variety of different things because they don’t, as Aaron, he and Aaron Glenn said they really don’t know each other.
“Aaron clearly, from his perspective, he entered there, we will have a conversation about the future. The jets informed him very quickly that they were going in another direction.”
Rodgers was clearly not happy with how everything was reduced. He told Mcafee that he expected to have a long meeting with the jets, but instead he was out of the building less than 20 minutes after Glenn allegedly told him 20 seconds at the meeting that the team was moving forward of him.
When Glenn was supposedly asked why, Rodgers supposedly did not mean something in a meeting and that the rest of the team looked immediately. That supposedly became Rodgers and Glenn turning to tell the other: “You don’t know me.”
“What I thought was going to be a couple meeting became a 15 -minute meeting.” Rodgers told Mcafee“And I got out of there … I don’t want any of that. It was already a debacle.”
Clearly, Rodgers and the Jets were not on the same page that day, and it is also clear that there are still some resentments at the end of Rodgers. Rodgers also did not seem to be happy with the reports they had declared that he had “prayed” the jets to keep him (Pelissero also confirmed that this was not the case).
After months of being silent, Rodgers decided to tell his truth about what happened during his last moments with the jets. And although he had every right to share his side of the story while clarifying some poorly informed reports, his interview with McAFee somehow may have justified New York’s decision to start again as Quarterback.
“Aaron is on a national television program that talks about a private conversation,” said Pelissero, “that kind of evidence of why jets simply did not believe this was a viable situation.”
In addition, Rodgers ‘will to disseminate private information of that day could be the reason why some fans are possibly recurring that Rodgers joins his team this low season, despite Rodgers’ bonuses as a future member of the Hall of Fame of the First Mallalla.
