How Aaron Rodgers’ minicamp absence affects Jets | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports
https://www.youtube.com/nbcsports

he’s the only starting quarterback that didn’t show up for mini camp and Robert Salah the head coach said it’s an event that’s very important to him I’m a little surprised it hasn’t gotten out yet where where he is I mean you think somebody would have seen him somewhere and and posted online you can’t hide anything these days Paulie oh you know it’s been a few days since this but I we’re civilians and we react to unexcused absence that was that buzz word from from Robert Salah that’s the most interesting aspect of it to me okay it do what do foot what do you think football players Jets players and other players think of the quarterback no- showing to I think they’re mandatory mini camps in June not it’s less voluntary it’s a mandatory mini camp he’s the only starting quarterback that did not attend his team’s mandatory mini camp the problem I have is when like someone like Barry says I don’t care he just needs to show up for the games like I none of this stuff matters who decides what matters and what doesn’t in other words like if that if that’s and I love Barry right but if that’s how Barry feels does it matter whether or not Rogers is there for the first two weeks of training camp did Robert S is it okay as long as Rogers shows up 15 minutes before kickoff of the opening game is like nothing else M like it all in my experience everything matters like you would never have told Tom Brady that something didn’t matter when we were teammates I mean he would he treated every rep like it was absolute life or death and as a result nobody wanted to let him down I’m fine with Rogers guys missing mini camp I don’t think it’s that big a deal but I don’t want to hear that football is his top priority because it’s not you can’t make that argument you can’t have both ways I don’t want to hear that he’s a great leader a great leader would be leading all the other players on the team at mini camp so whether or not it makes a big impact on this season I don’t know but I I guess I feel like this there’s going to come a time this season where the Jets face some adversity and if Rogers is kind of given a raw Ross speech there will be some people I don’t know how many but there will be some people who in the back of their mind are thinking okay yeah whatever man whatever you skip mini camp go ahead Paulie Robert Salah say the phrase unexcused absence as a jab or just to clarify for the media and it was not intended to Fan the Flames he said it not intended to Fan the Flames he said it in the context of Hassan reic unexcused absence we know that’s a contract situation Aaron Rogers had an event that was important to him his absence is unexcused that is mindboggling to me by the the Jets you know if they had just said Aaron Rogers has an excused absence nobody would have said a word about it the fact that it’s unexcused is why everyone’s so intrigued by it Satan but he’s sort of at the same time that Robert Sal is like it’s an unexcused absence he’s also sort of saying but it’s not really a big deal isn’t he he is but then if it’s not a big deal why didn’t you excuse it why don’t you make an excused absence if it’s not a big deal the Packers had three guys on excused absences the Jags had like seven guys get excused absences the Eagles Landon Dickerson their left guard wasn’t there he had excused absence like the fact that they made it an unexcused absence he is your best player he’s your highest paid player you’re starting quarterback he told you months ago that this is an event that’s really important to him and you said okay yeah go ahead you can go unexcused pretty when I hear unexcused and maybe this is too big a leap but for me that’s fairly close to unacceptable to me like if he was goingon to continue talking about it’s unexcused he should be here this is more important than whatever he chose to do it’s unacceptable it is unacceptable if this were like uh his wife was giving birth or you know a family member passed away they would have said he has an excused absence whatever he’s choosing to do the Jets aren’t real happy pretty clearly that he’s choosing to do something instead of playing football this week yes I did see a couple reports uh from New York reporters they didn’t have the details on what the event was or what the trip was but they said it’s been planned for a long time and that the the H higher-ups with the Jets knew about this when the training camp schedule came out or the OTA schedule came out so they were not shocked by this but that Rogers didn’t change his plans when the schedule came and I I wrote this in my column for the 33rd team why would you not have had the mini camp last week several teams had their mini camp last week including the Eagles the Jets could have rectified this by making sure if they knew about this months ago like they’re saying why would you schedule the mini camp the same week that he’s going to be away he must be International for it to be something that he couldn’t like reschedule this must be some type of international event that he booked and he just can’t miss it to which I would say I I’m dying to know what it is like if it’s a music festivalred what’s the reaction going to be that would be amazing that would be amazing
