Aaron Rodgers’ absence from the New York Jets’ mandatory minicamp this week has been a topic of discussion, with FS1’s Colin Cowherd reporting that the quarterback is on vacation overseas. Jets coach Robert Saleh confirmed Rodgers’ absence, labeling it as “unexcused” and revealing that he will be fined per the NFL collective bargaining agreement.
Cowherd, on his program ‘The Herd’, shared his insights on Rodgers’ whereabouts, stating that he received information from a trusted source about the quarterback’s vacation plans. He further commented on the dynamic between the impulsive owner, new GM, a coach with a losing record, and a “prickly, older, at times arrogant, disconnected quarterback” in the context of the New York media landscape.

Cowherd’s co-host, Jason McIntyre, suggested that Rodgers might be attending another darkness retreat, a practice the quarterback is known for during offseasons. McIntyre pointed out that there have been no reports or sightings of Rodgers, indicating a possible explanation for his absence.
Rodgers is entering his second season with the Jets after suffering an Achilles injury in his debut last year. The Jets scrambled their quarterback options and finished the season with a 7-10 record. His absence from the minicamp has sparked conversations about the team’s dynamics and his relationship with the organization.
