During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers confirmed he talked with New York Jets team owner Woody Johnson on the phone prior to Robert Saleh’s firing on Tuesday morning. Rodgers claimed it was a call where they only spoke about the loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and the quarterback’s injuries coming out of the clash in London. The Jets signal-caller “appreciated” the call, where he expressed he was “disappointed” in his performance, telling the team owner, “We’re going to get this thing turned around.
” “Yeah, I did talk to Woody. Woody called me on Monday night. We had a short conversation.
I appreciated the call. It was a genuine call,” Rodgers explained . “He just asked me how I was doing.
You know, obviously I got rolled up on during the game and, you know, my ankle got pretty banged up. So, he just called and was asking how I was doing. We talked about the game and how disappointed I was in my performance, and that I’m going to play better and we’re going to get this thing turned around.
Then, we hung up. “To that point, you know, Woody has no obligation to let me know of what his plans are, whether or not he knew what he was doing at that moment is inconsequential. I just appreciate the call that he was checking on me.
It was just like a friend calling, like he would do, ‘Hey, man, I saw that hit in the game, you doing okay?’ and we had a nice, short five minute conversation, and then that was that. ..
