Even Aaron Rodgers can’t stop the Patriots from picking on the Jets.
In fact, former Patriots great Julian Edelman targeted Rodgers specifically as the latest critic of the future Hall of Fame quarterback’s“I think it’s a bad look for your leader, for whatever reason, to go and miss an unexcused absence,” Edelman said Friday during an appearance on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on FS1. “I was with Tom Brady in his 25th year or 23rd year, and he started missing OTAs here and there, but he never missed a mandatory minicamp. I just thought it was a bad look.
Rodgers took a different approach to spring practice by attending the voluntary OTAs so that he still got in his reps while coming back from a torn Achilles suffered in the 2023 season-opener.The drills used in and non-contact rules applied to OTAs and minicamp are very similar, with the main difference that an absence from mandatory workouts is subject to team-issued fines.
The Jets would have excused Rodgers’ absence if it was under normal circumstances, such as a family commitment like a birth or a death. “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’s the media capital of the world.”How the Mets' new batting order has altered Francisco Lindor's routine and sparked their offense
