Aaron Rodgers criticized the Jets for their handling of his departure during a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, making headlines across the NFL. He expressed dissatisfaction with how a meeting with the new Jets coaching staff went, feeling disrespected and rushed out without being allowed to discuss his future with the team. The consensus is that despite his past accomplishments, such complaints highlight a disconnect between his expectations and the reality of the team’s decisions as it moves on without him.

The Jets are reportedly focusing on their future, particularly with the upcoming draft where they hold the seventh overall pick. Discussions are also underway regarding contract extensions for key players, including Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, both of whom participated in the offseason program. Their presence at these voluntary sessions has garnered positive media attention, signaling their commitment to the team as they navigate this transitional period.
