Aaron Glenn’s Unexpected Response to Aaron Rodgers Sparks Controversy—What Did He Really Say?

So here we are, standing at the crossroads of past loyalties and future ambitions. The New York Jets have decisively turned the page, swapping out Aaron Rodgers for Justin Fields—and with that, ushered in the era of Aaron Glenn as head coach. Now, you’d think with Rodgers looming as the season opener’s opponent, Glenn might indulge a bit of reminiscing or throw some shade. Nope. He’s shut that door tight, declaring those days “not relevant.” Makes you wonder—can a team truly erase its history, or is Glenn simply dodging what might be an awkward reunion? Either way, this isn’t just about quarterbacks; it’s about a franchise wrestling with its identity, ready or not, to prove that the future’s in Fields’s hands—not Rodgers’s shadow.

The New York Jets are moving on.

They added quarterback Justin Fields this offseason to replace Aaron Rodgers.

That’s why new head coach Aaron Glenn doesn’t want to talk about their former quarterback, even though they will face him in the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Aaron Glenn doesn't want to revisit the Aaron Rodgers decision. Asked about what he saw on film last season, Glenn said: "That's been gone, so I'm not going to answer questions about guys that aren't here and what I saw…It's not relevant to right now."

He did offer some…

There were reports that a meeting with Rodgers did not go well after Glenn was hired, so it may be in the coach’s best interests to avoid that line of questioning before this possible revenge game.

The Jets are committed to his replacement, and while the media and the fans always love a good storyline, Glenn is trying to treat Week 1 like any other game.

Granted, Rodgers and Fields likely would love to get back at their respective former teams and let them know what they could have had, but this is a team sport.

The Jets are looking to leave the past behind with a new regime in place.

As such, there’s little need to discuss how things were before it was even part of the organization.
