Where The Hell Is Aaron Rodgers?! Missing Jets Minicamp With "Unexcused Absence" & Will Face Fine

we got a lot of NFL stuff happening around the league as everybody is at these mandatory mini camps or is everybody there uhoh not everybody not every wait there people missing oh yeah there's some in unexcused absences really big names here's Robert Salah head coach of the New York Jets talking about theirs uh isan reic attending mini camp uh no so we've got U two in excused absences um one obviously being Hassan uh spoke to him over the weekend um I appreciate the dialogue uh he's in a really good place mentally working his tail off like we all uh like we already know and um but uh he's he's choosing to uh sit out this one and excused uh the second one is Aaron um it is ex Aaron and I spoke uh before otaa started uh he's been uh very good in communication he's been here the entire time it's in excused but um but uh he had an event that was very important to him um which he communicated both are inex not both inexus in so are they getting fined they're both subject to the CBA fine schedule I thought journalists were supposed to be smart that guy echoed the in excused something can be inexcusable but you are certainly unexcused if you are absent from something and they're saying you shouldn't be fascinating in Aaron's 20th year he did not miss a single otaa I don't think he missed the single OTA and you got the head coach going up yeah t excuse this guy should be here so now opens up the finds are they going to find Aaron Rogers the internet is having a field day with the event what's the event he's oh yeah I saw I saw in some TPS in some places you know I saw some paint and all that my only take on this entire thing is like now you're asking for a whole Bingo exactly just lie just be like yeah he's not here it's all good we we he was here 20 he years into this thing he was at every single offseason now people are saying like hey he was here yesterday for team picture and now he's not here today what's going on okay something's going on here it just come on Bob like you knew this was going to happen if yeah exactly the jet this is the New York football Jets gentlemen this is what they do every single year something always goes wrong it doesn't even matter if it's you know what is it June 4 June 11th or if it's it's already June 11th yeah pretty crazy which is great news great news 86 days till NFL football but again the fact that the Jets are doing this this is just this just standard New York football Jets stuff guys they screw it up every single time reck not been there is obviously much bigger issue he hasn't been there all off season obviously he wants more money you know they traded for him so not getting him happy and in Camp that's that's kind of some EG in their face right now going into uh training camp that's not what you want I just I just don't know you know I have not talked to any Source s close to the situation uh with the quarterback at the Jets uh we'll have AJ Hawk on the other side what's the life event you know because obviously he saw the her it was like nah I don't think so excuse him going to space what if him in RF Kenny Jr going up space get a better view with things I genuinely as soon as I heard him say it I'm like well this is a interesting situation he could be all right AJ listen we know coach coach you tell us come on AJ where is he is he in a tepee somewhere right now is he what what is something that was very important to him that coach sha heard and said n yeah you're fine for that yeah he could I don't I don't not important to me I don't agree how about him saying Hassan reic we know he's working his ass off the guy's gonna be an incredible sh he has not been there right no no he has not been there looking for a new deal we know he's doing great Aaron uh he communicated with me before OTAs which he was at all of them uh kind of sounded like a bit of mumble jumble but you this is going to be a thing we all know this is going to be a thing it's already started as a thing why would this be the way you go about doing this and is coach Salah obviously uh in a position where he could have went yeah Aaron's been here every time he had something to do we said it was cool we're going to get some of the young guys work and move on and then if he does that who's pissed at him the players the other coaches I don't understand why that was the option what do you think coach shal is doing here and where the hell is your friend Aaron Rogers at AJ Hawk I I first of off I have no idea where he I mean the opportunities are endless he could be anywhere on the planet right now we don't know what that could do he's in the Arctic right now potentially with Jimmy Graham yeah you never know like what why don't you Google like hey cool things happening over the next 3 days he might be there I don't know what that might be I have no clue where where he is either but they've known this for a long time if you talked before OTAs we're talking a couple months ago right yeah and he was at everyone right goes to Kentucky Derby even comes back you know La in years past for the Green Bay Packers did not go to OTAs NOP worked out with his person in California did that showed up in mandatory mini camp then he was out of there that was actually a big topic of contention almost with some of the new Packers regime new GM new coach fans even like hey why everybody else is here why aren't you here that type of [ __ ] so then he gets to the Jets last year goes to everything how you doing keep it moving this is a brand new wants to be assimilated with the culture with the team and do that this year same all the the voluntary [ __ ] you know conf fresh off at Achilles year 20 in his NFL career already knows the offense right knows the offense better than every human on the field that's why they kept Nathaniel hackin as the offensive Corner every single day there for the voluntary thing and then well we got two days left the coach is why I just knowing him as a you why would you do that and this is not me saying that you should count out anybody but uh be who you can afford to be the way NFL buildings operate as a quarterback yeah there's a little different situation ah man I just think this was an interesting uh angle uh for Coach sha to go into and I'm sure it'll be fine I'm sure everything will be a okay but this just causes unneeded [ __ ] yeah go ahead oh of course it causes uned but I guess he's had some time sa has had some time to think about this how he may handle it you know when you don't he did have to speak to the media if you knew Aaron was not going to be there so yeah he could have worded it a little better no question about it and said yeah we know like yeah we're we get it great communication we're good to go like how he kind of contrasted how reic and Aaron's absence was that's what made it kind of weird Aaron yeah he had an important event he thought I we we did Aaron tell him what the event is do you think he knows like did he have to say did solid what you got to tell me what what is this thing you want to do and what if he said it and obviously coach I don't even know what is that going to read periodic table with Terence Howard Terence Howard are going to visit the Flower of Life I mean that's what we're that's where we're going [ __ ] well and Coach Sol goes flower there's no flower we are roses we per periodic table yeah it's right there on the wall every su's glass what are you talking about and he shows him a teren Howard video and Sol's brain actually explodes yep and that was maybe what solo was referencing when you saw his entire demeanor change when he was talking about Aaron and obviously we know Aaron very well we we are friends with Aaron in this entire thing so us talking about it is going to come from a place of like why would you even you know but as ex Packers Fan I couldn't even fathom watching the Jets have to deal with this because literally everything Aaron does is a lightning rod of conversation and polarization and right now the internet is going to C for the next two months prob because it's the end of OTAs so now this is going to cook for the next two months and Coach Salah called it upon himself almost we all know how Aaron Rogers Football goes yeah I mean it's just like it's unbelievable and listen Salah is not like this guy's kind of been putting his foot in his mouth since he's been the head coach of the Jets so it's not like this is something new kind of happened all last year anytime he' talk about Zack Wilson he was basically like yeah you know he sucks uh so that's just kind of the way it is he's not going to play but they they talked about the entire off season it was basically like Hey listen we throw last season out the window because we didn't have Rogers like everything rides on Aaron Rogers so yeah you're talking about like not Cowtown to a guy and like for sure but like when your job and the the success of your team and basically like your life in the NFL at this point if you're Robert Salah it depends on that guy so maybe don't piss him off you know 11th when it's something that you already talked about and we're already aware of like yeah but we're just uh Aaron roders you know uh they were saying and sure I'm sure there's a lot of people out there like Aaron Rogers needs to be a man to man camp and I get it and there's certainly an angle to say that but if you're at every single voluntary in year 20 if you're in every single voluntary there has been a lot of things that have happened season where coaches have gone like yeah we're actually going to cancel the last two practi don't need them because as everybody has been here the entire time guys have missed mandatory mini camp because of other things that have happened in the past not rookies seconde guys role player guys no no no all H you know four-time MVP mhm yeah yeah this six months remove from him trying to come back from an Achilles faster than anybody for an entire season to play for that team to save their season ah it's awesome football's the best the Jets man the Jets are the best I love them oh
