Aaron Rodgers says it’s ‘ridiculous’ to think he needs the final 5 games to prove his value to Jets

Associated Press  

Aaron Rodgers figures his football resume speaks for itself. In fact, it’s a notion the four-time NFL MVP finds “ridiculous.” “If they want me to stay, fantastic,” Rodgers said Wednesday. Instead, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said he was sticking with Rodgers as the starter as long as he’s healthy, and the quarterback said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday his goal is to finish the season on the field — despite the team’s woeful record. “That’s what you do when you’re a professional and the most important ability you can have is availability, which I wasn’t available last year,” Rodgers said Wednesday, referring to going down with a torn Achilles tendon four snaps into his Jets debut. But first, I’ll think about whether I’d actually want to play or not, but it usually takes a good month to get away from it, which I’ll do the first month and then we’ll see what happens.” During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers highlighted the Detroit Lions — who were 3-13-1 in Dan Campbell’s first year as coach in 2021 and are now tied with Kansas City for the best record in the NFL at 11-1 — as a team that benefited from patient and supportive ownership.
