The Green Bay Packers have had multiple quarterbacks live interesting lives both during their time with the team and afterward.
Aaron Rodgers is certainly one of those quarterbacks.
Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Resurfaces Back In The United States
Following his ‘unexcused’ trip away from the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers has returned after skipping minicamp.
Following Rodgers’ absence from all three days of Jets’ minicamp earlier this month, the Hall of Fame quarterback faced over $100,000 in fines.
According to Ryan Glasspiegel of The New York Post:
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was Rodgers’ former teammate on the Packers, joined “The Herd” on FS1 on Thursday and told host Jason McIntyre that he was working out with the quarterback in the Los Angeles area on Wednesday.
“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I had been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to LA, and said, ‘Let’s run some routes,’” Valdes-Scantling said.
“So we got it in. Went out to some high school and ran some routes together. We’re good. It was good.”
McIntyre, a longtime Jets fan, responded, “All the New York media can stand down. Aaron Rodgers is back from Egypt! It’s not a secret anymore!”
Valdes-Scantling played with the Packers from 2018-21, then spent two years on the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl championships with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid both seasons.
This offseason, Valdes-Scantling signed a one-year deal with the Bills worth up to $4.5 million.
A day after Saleh said that Rodgers’ absence from camp was unexcused, he attempted to smooth things over.
“Aaron and I are on the exact same page,” Saleh said. “There’s no issue between Aaron [and I] or his teammates for that matter. We addressed it [Tuesday]. It’s more of an issue for everyone outside the building than it is inside. That’s about it.”
Rodgers is officially back in the United States and ready to get to work for the Jets.
