Saleh sees ‘fire’ in Rodgers, dispels ‘silly’ wish list talk

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Robert Saleh has seen all he needs to know that Aaron Rodgers is all in with the New York Jets. “You just see a fire in a guy’s eye when you’re sitting and talking to him,” Saleh said Friday after the team’s first rookie minicamp practice. It was reported Rodgers also provided the Jets with a “wish list” of players he’d like to play with if he came to New York. Saleh dispelled the widely circulated notion it was a list of demands by Rodgers, calling it “a silly narrative.” “It’s very common for new faces to want old faces to be able to come in and help accelerate the installation of a program,” Saleh said. New York has six players who were teammates of Rodgers in Green Bay, including four signed in free agency: wide receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, backup quarterback Tim Boyle and offensive linemen Billy Turner.
