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.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
