Jets GM Darren Mougey dodges Aaron Rodgers questions after quarterback’s scathing claims of final meeting

James Jones explains why he is disgusted over the New York Jets' disrespect towards Aaron Rodgers, saying quote: "This is a Hall of Fame player. You should’ve told him on the phone."

Aaron Rodgers’ comments about his final meeting with the New York Jets has seemingly left a bad impression on the team’s leadership. 

Speaking to the media about the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday, new general manager Darren Mougey dodged a series of questions surrounding the comments made by the four-time league MVP during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" last week.

Rodgers opened up on his final meeting with Mougey and new head coach Aaron Glenn, and painted the picture of him being caught off guard by their callousness.

"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."

Rodgers said Glenn returned with Mougey, but the conversation took a quick turn. 

"We sit down in the office and I think we’re going to have this long conversation – I’ve flown across the country – and 20 seconds in he goes – I mean literally, I’m talking to the GM about something, and he leans to the end of his seat and goes ‘So do you wanna play football?’"
