Rodgers to Return for Wk 1 Meeting Between Jets and Steelers

The last time Rodgers was in the building at 1 Jets Drive it was to be told by Jets brass that they didn’t think he had it anymore.  Despite his desire to come back, the team wanted to move on.  Deep down Rodgers knows that’s just the business side of the NFL, but you’d better believe he took things personal.

In fact, Rodgers said publicly that he didn’t appreciate the Jets having him fly out on his own dime only to be told within his first few minutes that his services were no longer needed.

Instead, the Jets moved on to former first-round pick Justin Fields. While nowhere near as accomplished as Rodgers, Fields offered a far younger and more mobile option under center.  A key consideration as Glenn was known to be in search of a QB who was a legitimate threat to run.

NFL schedule makers knew exactly what they were doing when the pitted the Jets against the Steelers to open the season.  So for Aaron Glenn, it’s a chance to show he made the right move, while Rodgers hopes that for at least one day, they second-guess their decision to send him packing.
