The Green Bay Packers chose to move on from Aaron Rodgers just over one year ago. The Packers gave the keys to Jordan Love and his first full season gave the team more than enough confidence in the future.
A healthy Aaron Rodgers will returning to the New York Jets where he will be looking to get right back into championship conversation.
The Jets have made multiple moves this off-season to try to improve their roster, however, that hasn’t stopped Rodgers from working out with his former teammates.
Former Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Once Again Works Out With Former Teammates
According to Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith:
Bills wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers spent some time training together this week.
Valdes-Scantling, who played with Rodgers in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021, said on FS1 that he and Rodgers found a practice field in Los Angeles and got some work in this week.
“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I’ve been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to L.A., 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.”
Rodgers was an unexcused absence from the Jets’ mandatory minicamp, for reasons that have still not been explained by either Rodgers or the Jets. But while we don’t know what Rodgers was doing that was more important to him than mandatory minicamp, we at least know from Valdes-Scantling’s comments that Rodgers is in his home state of California and is back at work on football.

Valdes-Scantling played for four seasons in Green Bay. In 59 games for the Packers, he recorded 123 catches for 2,153 yards and 13 touchdowns.
His time in Green Bay earned him a three-year, $30,000,000 contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, including a $6,000,000 signing bonus, $15,000,000 in guaranteed money, and an average annual salary of $10,000,000.
However, this off-season he signed a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills for $2.25 million.
