New Jets regime isn’t offering any Aaron Rodgers clarity with replacement options still not clear
NY Post
INDIANAPOLIS — The new Jets decision-makers repeatedly expressed their desire to keep good players on their roster on Tuesday.
Apparently, Aaron Rodgers did not qualify.
New general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn met the media here at the NFL Scouting Combine, their first comments since announcing the team was moving on from Rodgers, the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Glenn and Mougey did not offer up much of an explanation for the decision, just saying it was the best decision for the team, but not saying why.
“A.G. and I had a lot of dialogue, a lot of conversations, a lot of good thoughts, and just felt at the end of the day it was the best thing for the Jets moving forward to just go in a different direction at the quarterback position,” Mougey said. “[I have] a lot of respect for Aaron Rodgers as a player and person, first-ballot Hall of Famer, wish him nothing but the best, but that was a decision we made.”
Glenn had even less to say than the GM about the biggest decision he has had to make in his short time on the job. Glenn deferred to Mougey, who spoke before him.
