Jets GM Darren Mougey Dodges Questions Amid Rodgers Controversy

Aaron Rodgers recently criticized the New York Jets' handling of his departure, claiming during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that the team's leadership was abrupt and lacked respect during their final meeting. He recounted flying across the country for what he expected to be a detailed conversation, only to be quickly told by new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey that the team was moving in a different direction at quarterback. In response, Mougey repeatedly declined to discuss Rodgers' comments when questioned by the media, insisting on focusing solely on the upcoming draft and current Jets players. This approach by the Jets' management has sparked divided reactions among fans, with some supporting the team's decision to move on and others criticizing the lack of a proper exit process for a Hall of Fame quarterback. The Jets appear intent on distancing themselves from the Rodgers era and focusing on their future, while Rodgers has made it clear he was dissatisfied with how the split was handled.
