Earlier this week, someone within the New York Jets organization leaked information to the media that Zach Wilson was reluctant to return to the starting lineup with the team after he was benched earlier this season. And Aaron Rodgers is not happy about the leak.
During his regular appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Aaron Rodgers expressed his outrage at the report itself, but mostly at the New York Jets as an organization for allowing a leak like this to happen.
“What is your impetus, what is your motivation to try and bury someone like that?” Rodgers said according to Pro Football Talk. “And that’s a problem with the organization. You know, we need to get to the bottom of whatever this is coming from and put a stop to it privately, because there’s no place in a winning culture where — and this is not the only time. There’s been a bunch of other leaks.”
Rodgers had some pretty harsh words for the organization after the leak.
“I think it’s chicken [expletive] at its core, and I think it has no place in a winning organization,” Rodgers said.
Obviously, these are some strong words from Rodgers, and they led to a lot of reactions on social media.
