On Wednesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers made it clear that he loved Robert Saleh and that they have a good relationship.
“I love Coach Saleh. We have a solid relationship. He was a big reason why I came to the Jets. I really like Coach Saleh.”

“I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false.”
“As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I’m not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it, and that is I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false,” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show. “It’s interesting the amount of power people think I have, which I don’t. But I love Robert.”

Aaron Rodgers Speaks On Conversation He Had With Jets Owner Woody Johnson
Johnson said he met with Rodgers on Monday night.
On Wednesday afternoon, Aaron Rodgers spoke with Pat McAfee on his show.
Rodgers spoke about his conversation with Jets owner Woody Johnson the night before firing Saleh, but he stated it had more to do with checking on him after he sprained his ankle in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings.
He made it clear that Johnson didn’t say anything about firing Saleh.
“I did talk to Woody. He called me on Monday night. We had a short conversation. He just asked me how I was doing … we talked about the game, how disappointed I was in my performance and how we’re gonna get this thing turned around and we hung up. Woody has no obligation to let me know what his plans are.”
“I just appreciate the call that he was checking on me. It was like a friend call.”
In the end, Aaron Rodgers said he’ll be thinking of Saleh and his family.
“He’s got seven kids, he’s got an incredible wife, and the business of football can be hard,” Rodgers said. “It’s tough on the families, and I’ve gotten to know Robert’s family.”
