Jets Respond to Rodgers' Criticism, Focus on Future

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has publicly sidestepped Aaron Rodgers' criticisms after Rodgers expressed disappointment and surprise at being told by Glenn and GM Darren Mougey in person that the team would move on at quarterback, following a cross-country flight for the meeting. Asked about Rodgers' remarks during a post-draft press conference, Glenn focused instead on praising first-round pick Armand Membou, signaling excitement for the team's future. Darren Mougey described Glenn's response as 'perfect,' underscoring the organization's intent to avoid further public controversy. The Jets' attention has shifted to building around new quarterback Justin Fields, with Membou expected to bolster the offensive line. Rodgers' departure marks a clear transition as the Jets prioritize a new era of stability. The team remains committed to moving forward and leaving past drama behind.
