In a surprising turn of events, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has denied any involvement in the recent firing of head coach Robert Saleh.
On Tuesday morning, Jets owner Woody Johnson sent shockwaves through the NFL by announcing Saleh’s dismissal just five games into the season. “This morning, I informed Robert Saleh that he will no longer serve as the Head Coach of the Jets,” Johnson stated. He expressed gratitude for Saleh’s hard work over the past three and a half years, but felt it was necessary to make a change: “We are not where we should be given our expectations, and I believe now is the best time for us to move in a different direction.”
Rumor has it that Saleh was let go just five minutes after demoting Rodgers’ close friend, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
On Wednesday, Rodgers took to the Pat McAfee Show to clear the air, expressing his fondness for Saleh and refuting the claims against him. “It’s a tough business… I have a great relationship with Coach Saleh. He’s a big reason why I decided to join the Jets,” he remarked.
Rodgers firmly stated, “I resent any of those accusations because they’re badly false. It’s interesting the amount of power people think I have, which I don’t. I love Robert and it was just one of those days yesterday.”
The drama continues in New York as fans wonder what’s next for the Jets!

Rodgers stated that he had a conversation with Jets owner Woody Johnson on Monday night, but they didn’t touch on the topic of firing Saleh. It seems the timing of these events has sparked even more intrigue in the Jets organization! What does this mean for the team’s future? Only time will tell!
