Aaron Glenn’s decision on Aaron Rodgers will go against every fiber of his being
There's a new Aaron in Gotham City, and he's not here to divulge in the General Hospital Soap Opera drama that surrounds the quarterback of the franchise.
Former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator and New York Jets draft pick Aaron Glenn is now in charge of Gang Green. His first order of business is to determine whether his franchise QB is fully committed to the franchise. Glenn even said so himself.
Here's the problem. Rodgers likes to drag out the conversation. He feeds off the drama. See what went down in Green Bay. The former Super Bowl MVP has been known for making the offseason his own personal television show and for so long, the Green Bay Packers have groveled and worshipped the soap opera until they finally decided to part ways.
Aaron Glenn has to stand up to Aaron Rodgers and send a clear message else the Jets will continue to swim in mediocrity and misery
Rodgers’ drawn-out decision-making every offseason—whether it’s cryptic social media posts, darkness retreats, or holding teams hostage with retirement speculation—creates unnecessary distractions. At this point, the Jets cannot afford to deal with that. It affects not just the team on the field but also the roster-building and game-planning strategies.
Glenn comes from the Lions, who have built a reputation as a no-nonsense, hard-nosed team under Dan Campbell, and Rodgers' constant offseason dramatics contrast sharply with that mentality.
The ball is now in Aaron Glenn's hands. He's in charge now, and he's got a quarterback with great talent, but an enormous ego that thrives on grabbing the headlines. Will it work out in the end, or will the Jets once again succumb to the ineptitude that has haunted their franchise for decades? Only time will tell, and we will await the news of whether Rodgers will return next season or not.
