Super Bowl champion calls Aaron Rodgers 'a cancer' with Jets mired in 4-game losing streak

Nick Wright reacts to Aaron Rodgers' reflection on the New York Jets' struggles and 2-5 record on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ saying the team is 'playing with too much anger and not too much excitement.'

The New York Jets’ have had Super Bowl or bust expectations since they acquired Aaron Rodgers last offseason. 

Though he wasn’t able to see that through in his first year due to a torn Achilles, those expectations are not being met in 2024.

The Jets enter Week 8 with a 2-5 record despite having one of the league’s best defenses and a number of offensive weapons, the newest being Davante Adams. 

For a team with such talent, it’s been a tumultuous start to the year. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh, can’t produce consistently on offense and are in the midst of a four-game losing streak.

While fingers have been pointed all around, ESPN Radio host and Super Bowl champion Chris Canty believes Rodgers is at the center of all the Jets’ problems, calling him "a cancer" within the organization.

"Here’s the thing. The last couple of years in Green Bay, we suspected that Aaron Rodgers could be a little bit toxic, especially with a young team. I had no idea that it would be this bad," Canty, who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants during his 11-year career, told ESPN Radio’s "Unsportsmanlike."
