Evan Roberts of WFAN went onto New York Sports Radio on Wednesday and made an interesting statement about quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was in the news because he said some things about the New York Jets on Tuesday on the Pat McAfee show.
Roberts said on WFAN on Wednesday about Rodgers:
“When this Jets season continues to go upside down and backwards, and it goes worse than even he could have imagined, and the locker room is lost, and things look bleak, you are being naive. If you think this guy has any loyalty to us, he is just like James Harden, he is just like Max Scherzer, he is just like Kevin Durant, and he is just like Justin Verlander. At the first sign of adversity, what these mercenaries do, is they quit.”
This is a very bold statement from Evan Roberts because Aaron Rodgers is under contract for another couple of seasons with the New York Jets. He will be 40 years old when the 2024 season rolls around. Rodgers was replaced by Zach Wilson with a torn Achilles injury, and he has not played well since then.
Evan Roberts Maybe Could Be onto Something Because Brett Favre Left the Jets After One Season, But Highly Unlikely Aaron Rodgers Would do the Same
Brett Favre played on the Jets for one season in 2008, before playing for the Minnesota Vikings in 2009 and in 2010 before officially retiring from the NFL. Rodgers was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets last offseason. His first season with New York only lasted four plays.
He has mentioned how happy he was with the Jets brass and felt very good. However, Minnesota will most likely not re-sign quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason. The Vikings will need a quarterback. Will they draft one or trade for one? It would be something else if Aaron Rodgers wanted out and he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
However, Evan Roberts is emotional because of what has happened in the past with other New York sports failures. It is highly unlikely Aaron Rodgers is going to bolt to another team and probably finish his career with the New York Jets.
