Jets' Split with Rodgers Upsets Players, Raises Concerns

The New York Jets' decision to part ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers has caused unrest among some players, with defensive tackle Quinnen Williams expressing his displeasure on social media before deleting the post. Coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged the players' reactions but emphasized that all decisions made by him and General Manager Darren Mougey are aimed at immediate success. Glenn stated that while such decisions might upset some, they are discussed internally to maintain team cohesion. Mougey clarified that there was no ultimatum for Rodgers regarding his media appearances, contrary to rumors. Despite Rodgers' disappointing performance last season, the Jets aim to move forward with a focus on respecting and utilizing existing talent. Rodgers' post-June 1 release will spread his $49-million dead-cap penalty across two years, and discussions regarding wide receiver Davante Adams' future are forthcoming.
