"We're just passionately talking about the
details of a situation that might not have to do with either of
us," Rodgers said. "So, G and I have got a great relationship.
We spend time together off the field. On the field, there's a
way of doing things that we both agree on, and when it doesn't
look exactly how we want it to, sometimes there's some sad
conversations that happen."
The players also seemed to have some tense moments on Saturday.
Wilson, the Jets' first-round draft choice in 2022 out of Ohio
State, also sought to downplay the disagreements.
"It's truly enlightening for me every time we have problems like
that, despite how it may look, just because I am an emotional,
passionate guy," Wilson said. .".. In reality, all those
conversations, those things are helping me be better for Aaron
because he can make your life real easy. So, for me, it's my job
to be on my details and he's been on me about those details."
Wilson amassed 1,103 receiving yards in his rookie season and
1,042 more in 2023.
Rodgers played just four snaps last season before going down
with am Achilles injury. Jets coach Robert Saleh indicated this
week that Rodgers would not play in any of New York's preseason
games.
Rodgers, who led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl win after
the 2010 season, has thrown for 59,055 yards and 475 touchdowns
through 19 NFL seasons. [© 2024 Thomson Reuters. All rights
