Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback, missed the team's mandatory minicamp, incurring potential fines exceeding $100,000, which upset the Jets' hierarchy. His absence, deemed unexcused by head coach Robert Saleh, led to significant media scrutiny. Rodgers was found to have been on a trip to Egypt, which he had previously mentioned in a bucket list interview. Upon his return, Rodgers was seen training with former Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Los Angeles, who confirmed their workout on FS1's 'The Herd.' Saleh later downplayed any tension, stating he and Rodgers are 'on the exact same page.' Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner also defended Rodgers against the backlash, emphasizing internal team harmony.
