The New York Jets are officially moving on from QB Aaron Rodgers and they worked hard to make it seem like it was Aaron Rodgers’ decision. The specific and unreasonable requirements they planned to impose upon Rodgers moving forward were just a smokescreen so their fans wouldn’t lose their minds when they kicked him to the curb.
Doug Gottlieb: “It was an offer that they KNEW he had to refuse. Everybody knows the quote from the Godfather, ‘Give ‘em an offer they can’t refuse.’ What the Jets did with Aaron Rodgers is make him an offer you know he’s going to refuse. But you can always go back to your fans and go, ‘Look, we wanted him back, he just wouldn’t commit to going to all the OTAs.”
