The Green Bay Packers are going to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in 2024. Their young roster is expected to compete with anyone on their schedule. The New York Jets are also one of the more exciting teams to watch in 2024. Getting a healthy Aaron Rodgers back makes New York one of the more intriguing teams in the AFC.
However, Rodgers choosing to skip mandatory practice drew a passionate statement from his teammate. According to Brad Wakai of Fan Nation:
With their offensive line being such a hindrance last season, general manager Joe Douglas brought in three new players to become starters. That hopefully will allow a healthy Aaron Rodgers to find his upgraded weapons down the field so they can put points on the board.
With a near-perfect attendance record during OTAs, there was some concern when it was revealed that their superstar quarterback was going to miss mandatory minicamp in an absence that is considered unexcused.
Robert Saleh says he and the future Hall of Famer are on the same page, but his lack of presence has caused many people to criticize the veteran signal caller.
The Rodgers news has largely masked their other notable absence as Haason Reddick has still not reported to the Jets after being acquired via trade this offseason.
There was some thought he might not show up, but he made it official on Tuesday.
Reddick sparked some more speculation about the situation with a cryptic social media post. It would appear the Jets have multiple players feeling passionate about their no-show to mandatory practices.
