Aaron Rodgers shared his displeasure with how the Jets handled his release from the team last week, but the Jets aren’t interested in slinging any mud back in his direction.
Rodgers complained that he paid for a flight for a meeting with new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey that ended after 15 minutes with the team telling him they were not interested in continuing their relationship.

Mougey was asked about Rodgers’s comments during a Monday press conference. Mougey said he addressed the team’s decision to move on without Rodgers during the Scouting Combine and had nothing else to add to the conversation.
“I understand the question, but I’m just going to talk about the draft and current Jets players,” Mougey said.
