"Not one of those was the Jets, because that was not a great conversation."
Rodgers later expanded on his comments, detailing the "confusing" and "strange" final conversation he shared with Glenn. According to Rodgers, he had flown to the Jets’ facility with the anticipation that he would have a long conversation with the team’s leadership about his future.
Instead, what he got was a brief talk about Glenn’s desire to move in a different direction.
"That was an interesting two years to say the least, but I figured that when I flew across the country on my own dime, that there was going to be a conversation. And the confusing thing to me – and the strange thing – was when I went out there I meet with the coach… we start talking, he runs out of the room."
