Even when you cut players, they could be a Hall of Famer. You just never know. But Aaron\u2019s playing great now. He\u2019s in a situation that\u2019s working for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Rodgers seemed to be not interested in a third season with the Jets \u2014 even if they wanted him. And, as we hear it, there was a difference of opinion as to who did and who didn\u2019t. G.M. Darren Mougey wanted to keep Rodgers, we\u2019re told. Coach Aaron Glenn wanted to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on from Rodgers is only part of the problem. The other part is the guy they picked. By title, that was Mougey\u2019s move. It\u2019s possible, however, that others in the organization had their fingerprints on the move.<\/p>\n<p>Up to and including Woody Johnson himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a stunning move, Jets owner Woody Johnson publicly criticized on Tuesday the team\u2019s starting (as of Week&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-230713","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
