NFL insider Albert Breer seems to know where Aaron Rodgers disappeared to white dodging the Jets’ mandatory two-day minicamp this week.
“The very best I can answer this straight away that I feel solid about is that he’s somewhere that they may not excuse and maintain credibility with the remainder of the locker room, but can be expected, wouldn’t be an out-of-left-field thing for him,” Breer said about Rodgers’ unspecified whereabouts. “So that you guys can open your mind, so to talk, as he’s been known to open his mind sometimes, into all the chances.”
Robert Saleh described Rodgers’ whereabouts as an event that was “very essential to him.”
NFL insiders speculate he’s at an ayahuasca retreat in South America or Europe.
Though the situation of the four-time regular-season MVP has not been confirmed, his neighbors in Cedar Grove are on the hunt, comparing him to a scantily seen fictional creature.
“He’s the Sasquatch of Cedar Grove!” quipped Dave Fletcher, who owns Cedar Beans Coffee Joint on Pompton Avenue, a Hail Mary pass from Rodgers’ $9.5 million glass mansion. “Who’re you more more likely to capture on film in Cedar Grove?”
Colin Cowherd from FS1 and The Athletic’s Dianna Russini each confirmed Rodgers was on an overseas vacation.
Russini added that the quarterback “didn’t need to reschedule [the vacation] across the Jets’ practices.”
Multiple of his Jets teammates comparable to Breece Hall, D.J. Reed and Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner have defended Rodgers’ absence.
“Are y’all really making an enormous deal because a 15+ 12 months HOF QB missed 2 days of practice after being with the team all throughout Phase 1, 2, & 3 of OTA’s?? GG’s,” Gardner posted on X on Wednesday night.
Still, the team will reportedly nice Rodgers for missing the minicamp.
“They communicated to him that they wouldn’t find a way to excuse him for that, and again, it’s because that’s the way you maintain credibility together with your locker room,” Breer said about how the Jets are handling Rodgers’ decision to skip minicamp. “You’ll be able to’t do something for one person that you simply wouldn’t do for other stars of the team, let alone, like, guys on down the roster, right?”
