Right now, the New York Jets are one of the best teams in the NFL. Gang Green, led by controversial quarterback Aaron Rodgers, sits second in the AFC East following a commanding victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football.
The Jets are not having as many troubles as previously thought. In a report by the Athletic before the 2024 NFL season, the Jets were said to have been in “disarray,” while the vibes in the Jets’ facilities were reportedly “terrible.”
Obviously, with Aaron Rodgers as the team’s signal caller, there was bound to be some fightback over what was said about the culture in Gotham. In a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, the 40-year-old quarterback revealed his thoughts on who he thought the source of the rumors may have been.
Pat McAfee asked Aaron Rodgers about the anonymous agent who spoke to The Athletic in August and said “There is complete disarray over there” with the #Jets.

In a clip from the show posted to X by user Antwan V. Staley, Rodgers claimed that the headlines sounded like they were written by former Eagles linebacker Hassan Reddick’s agent. Reddick is currently in a contract holdout with the Jets.
Aaron Rodgers Claims That Hassan Reddick’s Agent Lied About The Jets Organization
Rodgers said he did not read the article. However, he did make a bold statement about his team’s locker room. ” I would say the culture here is about the opposite of what that headline said,” he said.
The Jets quarterback continued, “Just reading that headline there, it sounds like it was written by Haason Reddick’s agent… former agent, I guess, possibly, in a way to try and disparage our great organization.”
There has been little to no confirmation on who the source may have been, yet it does seem very plausible that the disgruntled linebacker could have said something like that to his agent. We may never know the truth, but if there is one thing we do know, it’s that Rodgers is looking to have a great season in 2024.
