Aaron Rodgers has hit out at how Aaron Glenn, the new New York Jets head coach, handled his departure from the team after two years with the organization.
Breaking his cover in appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers said: ‘Listen, that was an interesting two years to say the least. I figured that when I flew across country to my dime there would be a conversation.
‘The confusing thing to me is I went out there, I meet with the coach, we start talking… he runs out of the room. I’m like “that’s strange”.
‘Then he comes back with the GM and I’m like all right. So we sit down and I think we’re going to have this long conversation and 20 seconds in and he (Glenn) goes: “You sure you wanna play football?” And I said “yes” and he said “we’re going in another direction”.
Rodgers mainly complained at the fact he flew across the country to be told such an abrupt decision had been made.
The 41-year-old was otherwise coy over what the future holds but spoke highly of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which seems to be his obvious landing spot if he chooses to play on.
He said that he is ‘going through a lot’ in his personal life that takes precedent over football at present.
