Aaron Rodgers clarified Wednesday that while he does want to play quarterback for the Jets, he is not interested in being their general manager.
Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers said he did not demand the Jets sign anyone as a prerequisite for him to agree to go to the team. An ESPN report on Tuesday said that Rodgers had given the Jets a “wish list” of players for them to target that included his former teammates Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Marcedes Lewis and also former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. The Jets did agree to a deal with Lazard on Tuesday.
But Rodgers took umbrage with the perception that he was forcing the Jets to sign anyone.
“From what I’ve seen, it’s like I had a sheet of paper when I met with the Jets and I said, ‘Sign these people.’ That’s not the reality,” Rodgers said.
