With one week to go before the NFL draft, the top free agent left on the market
0:04
quarterback Aaron Rodgers, still hasn't decided what he wants to do this coming season
0:08
Thursday, in an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, he talked about his future
0:12
and his breakup with the New York Jets, which we're learning was not as smooth
0:17
as it was made out to be a month ago. Rodgers said he flew from California to New Jersey
0:22
to meet with new head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mugee and was immediately taken aback
0:28
20 seconds in, I'm talking to the GM, and Glenn leans to the edge of his seat and says
0:34
you're sure you want to play football? And I said, yeah, I'm interested
0:38
And he said, we're going in another direction at quarterback. I was kind of shocked
0:43
Rodgers has made more headlines for his media appearances, he's paid as a guest on the Pat McAfee show
0:48
than for his two years of play on the field with the Jets. But he still felt like he was owed more than the million they continue to pay him I felt there wasn an ample amount of respect in that meeting I guess I shouldn have been surprised based on some things I saw over two years Rodgers met with several teams this offseason including the New York Giants
1:09
Minnesota Vikings, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are the only team remaining that still
1:14
have a need at quarterback, but the future Hall of Famer said Thursday he still hasn't decided
1:19
whether or not he's going to retire. The Jets, however, signed former Steelers quarterback Justin
1:24
fields and at the league meetings two weeks ago, Glenn talked about how excited he was to have the
1:29
dual threat fields as his starter. We're going to let him play quarterback. I mean, that's what he's
1:33
always wanted to do. And listen, I'm not saying that he hasn't had a chance to play that, do that
1:37
in other places. And you know, that's not my issue. But I know what I want to do with that player
1:42
And obviously want to utilize his legs, but also want to give him a chance to go out there and play quarterback. Whether or not fields plays well in New York, only time will tell. But the Jets
1:50
probably feel better about not being in the middle of any future Aaron Rodgers drama
