Robert Saleh firing: Aaron Rodgers fires back at ‘ridiculous allegations’ surrounding Jets HC exit

New York Jets (2-3) quarterback Aaron Rodgers responded to the accusations that he was involved in the firing of head coach Robert Saleh during a Wednesday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

Rodgers told McAfee he “resents any of those accusations,” downplaying the amount of power he is perceived to have within the organization.

“As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I’m not gonna spend more than one sentence in response to it, and that is I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false and it’s interesting the amount of power that people think that I have, which I don’t,” Rodgers said. “I love Robert, and it was one of those days yesterday.”

Jets owner Woody Hohnson said he spoke to Rodgers Monday night, however, it wasn’t about Saleh. Rodgers said he didn’t find anything odd about the timing of the call. Johnson emphasized Tuesday he operated alone in coming to the decision to fire Saleh.

“This was my decision, and mine alone,” Johnson said.
