Aaron Rodgers Returns to New York Jets After ‘Unexcused Absence’: Where Was He?

Where was New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers the whole time?

Former teammate of Aaron Rodgers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, told longtime New York Jets fan and host of “The Herd” on FS1 Jason McIntyre that he and Rodgers worked out in the Los Angeles area Wednesday in an article from the New York Post.

“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I had been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to LA, and said, ‘Let’s run some routes,’” Valdes-Scantling said.

“So we got it in. Went out to some high school and ran some routes together. We’re good. It was good.”

McIntyre responded, teasing that Rodgers was in Egypt the whole time.

McIntyre, a longtime Jets fan, responded, “All the New York media can stand down. Aaron Rodgers is back from Egypt! It’s not a secret anymore!”

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers made strong statements about commitments to the team in the past

Rodgers, who only ended up playing four snaps for the Jets last season, made a powerful statement about other players’ commitment to the team after an unsuccessful 2023 season.

In an article from Pro Football Talk, Rodgers explained that winning is the most important thing and anyone doing anything that doesn’t have to do with winning needs to be reevaluated.

 “[a]nything that doesn’t have anything to do with winning needs to be assessed” and that “[i]t’s not a half the time thing, it’s not a sometimes thing, it’s not a most of the time thing, it’s an every time thing” and that “the bullshit that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building,” Rodgers said.

This statement resurfaced when Rodgers was absent for the Jets’ mandatory minicamp. It was used to point to Rodgers’s hypocrisy and call into question his ability as the leader of a team.
