Aaron Rodgers has found himself in hot water again. After the New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh, Rodgers denied any involvement, claiming he has limited power. However, his past actions suggest otherwise.
Rodgers’ reputation has been tarnished since his controversial COVID-19 stance. Many believe his loyalty is questionable, given his past attacks on Jimmy Kimmel and Travis Kelce.
The Jets’ struggles have been blamed on their offense, where Rodgers has performed poorly. Despite his claims that changes were needed, it was Saleh who lost his job, while Rodgers’ close friend, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, kept his.
Rodgers may deny his influence, but his presence has overshadowed Saleh. The Jets tailored their offense to Rodgers’ preferences, and his erratic behavior has created an unstable environment.
Despite his smooth talking, Rodgers’ actions show he prioritizes his own interests above all else. Saleh’s firing is another example of his willingness to sacrifice others for his own benefit.
