NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and DE Haason Reddick are skipping the organization’s mandatory 2-day minicamp, the franchise shared today. Both absences are unexcused, as that means that the Jets can fine them.
The edge rusher’s absence is not a surprise, as he is in a deal dispute with the team. Aaron, took the required physical and was part of the Jets’ media day, both yesterday, before leaving.
“Rodgers and I spoke before OTAs began,” manager Robert Saleh revealed. “Our quarterback is very good in communication. Rodgers has been here the entire time. It’s unexcused, but he had an event that was very crucial for him, which he shared with us.”
Aaron has been a regular at voluntary workouts for the last 2 offseasons, showing the importance of building chemistry with his teammates, which leaves more questions than answers as to why he is not there.
The Jets head coach downplayed the quarterback absence, claiming that the team knew that he will miss the minicamp.
#Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and OLB Haason Reddick are not at mandatory minicamp, per HC Robert Saleh. They are both subject to fines.
Rodgers had an event that was important to him. Reddick is likely due to his contract.
