Despite the New York Jets downplaying Aaron Rodgers' absence from mandatory minicamp, one former NFL star wide receiver says this could become a problem.
Getting Aaron Rodgers back in the mix, signing impact free agents, and drafting well generated a buzz that put them into a contending status in the minds of many fans and analysts.
For that to happen, though, New York needs their future Hall of Fame signal caller to remain healthy and perform at the level he has in the past that has seen him win four MVP awards. "God forbid the New York Jets start 1-3 in the season ... If they go 1-3, this is going to be such a big distraction for that locker room. Because everyone is going to be talking about it. This is New York City, it is the media capital of the world," Edelman said.
Both are coming into the year on the hotseat, and a poor start to the year with such high expectations placed upon their shoulders is certain to result in changes if they aren't able to recover from that."Now, if they start 4-0 no one is going to care," he added. But he also still doesn't like the decision by Rodgers, saying "... this is the NFL. I think it's a bad look for your leader for whatever reason to go and miss an unexcused absence.
