National reactions: Jets get praise after Aaron Rodgers' commentary

[ASFN Admin]

Aaron Rodgers had one more in him... but it might not have went to according to his plan.

The former New York Jets quarterback joined the "Pat McAfee Show" for a conversation once again and had plenty to say about his ex team. A good chunk of it was aimed at New York's new head coach in Aaron Glenn.

Rodgers mentioned a variety of issues he had with the way his departure from the Jets went... but his candid chat had many questioning him after he revealed his thoughts with few questioning the team.

That likely wasn't part of the plan for Rodgers...nonetheless, here's a roundup of national media reaction to Rodgers' discussing his departure from the Jets:

With all due respect, Aaron Rodgers perhaps should check on how Joe Douglas feels after signing many of his friends, and Robert Saleh who was the subject of several hit pieces--both of whom lost their jobs--before carrying on about this. Lost-their-jobs. Yes, for multiple… https://t.co/3UCSK5Qo3M

I think it's incredibly selfless and gracious for Aaron Rodgers to offer to play for only $10 million.

Aaron Rodgers: "Retirement is a possibility."

Chuck Noll: "If you're thinking about retirement. You're already retired."
