Aaron Rodgers did not take kindly to recent report on his teammate Zach Wilson. The much-maligned quarterback was recently the subject of a report suggesting he was hesitant to return to the starter’s job if the team called for it. Head coach Robert Saleh denied that report and said Wilson has the desire to be in the game. Rodgers made his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show while rehabbing from a torn Achilles. The quarterback believes the report speaks to a problem with the organization, before making a demand. McAfee mentioned them being friends, but Rodgers quickly shut that down, stating, “But they’re not your friends. Even if they are, is that really what you wanna be about? You wanna be about using someone in the media to leak stuff to in order to get them to put your name out there for a job, or if you’re a player to get you a write-up?” He continued, railing on the New York Jets and everyone involved in the report. Rodgers has never needed fuel to encourage him in his NFL endeavors or in his dislike of the media, but this will certainly add to it. All season long, Aaron Rodgers has maintained that he’s not going to be out for the entire season. After tearing his Achilles in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills, the star quarterback swore this was not the end. His rehab has reportedly gone swimmingly, and he recently returned to practice. Rodgers has maintained that he’d like to play in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders. Will he actually do so? That remains to be seen. It’s unclear if he’d even be cleared to play an NFL game medically, and there may not be a reason to. He himself has indicated that a return would be dependent on a few factors, most notably whether or not the team is in the hunt. They’re currently fading fast in that regard, so by the time he might otherwise be cleared, the season will be done, and Rodgers won’t need to return and risk another injury.
