Radio host takes shots at Aaron Rodgers’ contribution to Jets despite Robert Saleh’s support

While Aaron Rodgers has been rehabbing from his season-opening injury, Zach Wilson has shown potential by winning three consecutive games. For a brief period, fans were hopeful that the team would have a promising future with Rodgers’ backup. However, the franchise’s happy time came to an end after a three-game winning streak, as they have been on a losing streak since then.

The Jets have unfortunately suffered four consecutive losses in their recent matches and currently hold the third position in the AFC East with a 4-8 record. In the meantime, a popular radio personality criticized Rodgers for not taking full advantage of the opportunity after being acquired from the Green Bay Packers before the regular season.

Greg Giannotti expresses displeasure over Rodgers’ role with Jets

Throwback to the offseason, Aaron Rodgers was frequently flirting with the Jets, and the team too flirted back several times while the Green Bay Packers were busy building up Jordan Love as their next franchise QB.

A potential marriage between A-Rod and Gang Green was just a matter of time, although it lingered due to the QB’s potential retirement rumor and his age. However, they finally tied the knot and were giving off the vibe of a successful future in the training camp. As the Jets were preparing for their debut match against the Buffalo Bills, fans thought they would be seeing the end of the Jets playoff drought this season.

Once again, fate didn’t favor the franchise as A-Rod tore his Achilles in the season-opening match. The team’s all-out hopes regarding the former Packers star just went in vain. During a recent appearance, popular radio host Gregg Giannotti said the four-time MVP made Gang Green suffer worse than anyone could have possibly.

Rodgers has been active on the sidelines and has also been vocal about the current scenario for the Jets. However, Gregg said that doesn’t make him look like a signal-caller for the team.

“I’ve had enough of him. I haven’t even seen him play a full game, and I’ve already had enough of him as a Jet!.”

Aaron has been activated for Gang Green’s 21-day practice wing. Nevertheless, given the team’s current state, they have less than a one percent chance of heading to the playoff, casting uncertainty over the 10-time Pro Bowler’s potential return to the field this season.

Saleh reacts calmly to Aaron Rodgers’ remarks about Jets

Days ago, a report of the Athletic surfaced regarding Gang Green’s attempt to reinstate Zach Wilson as their starter following a lackluster performance by other players in his position. Despite the team’s outreach, he was reportedly indifferent to returning as QB1. The signal-caller himself downplayed the rumor by expressing his willingness to step onto the field whenever the opportunity arises.

Before him, Aaron Rodgers was the first to vent his frustration over this incident. During his recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, A-Rod slammed the report as a “character assassination” made to damage the reputation of Wilson.

The four-time MVP also criticized the incident by labeling it “chickenshit at its core” for someone inside the Gang Green organization to leak the information to a reporter. He said it was a behavior that “has no place in a winning organization.”

During a recent press conference on Wednesday, Robert Saleh addressed A-Rod’s remarks, addressing his perspective on a player openly criticizing the organization and his stance on internal leaks within the Jets. The coach said he doesn’t think the jab was aimed at the team while addressing his stance on handling the matter internally.

“I don’t think it’s an attack on the organization, but I always appreciate Aaron’s thoughts and comments. . . . We’ll handle all that stuff internally, but like I said, everyone’s going to have their thoughts, but those are the things we’ll handle internally,” he said via NBC Sports.

Meanwhile, the Jets QB saga goes on. After starting the season with Wilson following Rodgers’ season-ending injury, the team benched Zach several times before declaring Tim Boyle a starter. However, they recently waived Boyle and signed Brett Rypien from the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad.
