Rodgers Dispels Rift Rumors with Coach Saleh

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the New York Jets, has denied rumors of a rift with head coach Robert Saleh, describing their relationship as strong and amicable. Speculation arose after the Jets' narrow loss to the Denver Broncos, where Rodgers' cadence was blamed for several false-start penalties. Saleh initially suggested a need to reassess Rodgers' sophisticated cadence but later retracted his statement, attributing the penalties to an 'outlier game'. The controversy dates back to June when Rodgers was fined for missing a mandatory minicamp, further fueling media narratives about their rapport. Both Rodgers and Saleh have reiterated their mutual respect and friendship, dismissing the media's portrayal of their relationship as problematic.
