Ex-NFLer says Aaron Rodgers ‘fired’ Robert Saleh after Jets QB was repeatedly undermined by ex-HC

The firing of Robert Saleh was not due to Mark Schlereth “Bingo card.” But unforeseen circumstances caused him to delve deeply into the matter “Power struggles” this may or may not have taken place within the New York Jets organization. The Jets are currently 2-3 and this trip has been very polarizing. The last two games have been, to say the least.

However, the sword was already hanging over Robert Saleh’s path before he was fired. The Broncos and Vikings’ losses have only escalated the process. While it is logical not to release players in the middle of the season, that is assumed “Discourse” The disagreements between the four-time MVP and the former Jets coach may have begged Woody Johnson to pull the trigger on Saleh.

How is that? Aside from Robert Saleh’s 20-36 record with the Jets, the trade between Saleh and A-Rod didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Per Schlereth, Rodgers and Saleh had to be on the same page “Two points ahead” story, but it could have been completely different. Come next week and Saleh is claiming Rodgers for himself “Cadence,” but later withdrew.

If anything, these events only cause concern. There is also a narrative that Rodgers holds all the power in the New York Jets organization. So he was somehow involved in all of this. However, by his own admission, the QB did not know about Saleh’s dismissal before entering the facility. Woody Johnson and Aaron Rodgers had a meeting before the decision was made; However, Johnson said his quarterback had no influence on Saleh’s dismissal.

For former Broncos lineman Mark Schlereth, this all sounds a little suspicious. “Okay, so there’s a power struggle; I understand it. Aaron Rodgers wins the power struggle; You know, he called Robert Saleh into his office this morning and apparently fired him. So I would assume that’s exactly how it happened, or at least that’s how it happened in my mind.” the former NFL player continued The Stinkin Truth Podcast with Mark Schlereth.

Even Shannon Sharpe believes the narrative that it was Aaron Rodgers’ transgressions that got Saleh fired. The Hall of Famer TE believes Rodgers robbed Robert Saleh of his power by not participating in mandatory minicamp. Stephen A. Smith, on the other hand, believed that Robert Saleh was never in charge of the team to begin with. So what is true?

How the dynamic changed between Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers

There may have been a power struggle since Aaron Rodgers succumbed to an Achilles tendon injury. Rodgers worked on the Jets’ offense as he recovered. Many believe that Saleh left all the offensive work to Rodgers and Hackett and was never worried about it. But the Jets found themselves in major drama after the Super Bowl-winning MVP decided to miss mandatory training camp because he found it trivial.

Saleh suddenly informed the journalists about Rodgers’ “unexcused absence” and things went haywire. Team owner Woody Johnson believed that Rodgers missing training camp was no big deal, and they informed everyone that way because they didn’t want Jets players to undermine mandatory training camp.

Rodgers suspected he had planned the trip long before training camp and had no idea his tour day would clash with camp. The QB was fined approximately $100,000. Even Jets players had “No problem since Rodgers misses minicamp.” All of this drama just suggests that the Jets have major miscommunications within their organization. The loss to the Broncos only reinforced that narrative.

The Jets were penalized 13 times in the game against the Broncos; 5 of them were false starts. When this storm of a game was over, Saleh shouted Rodgers’ “Cadence” and said it was too complex for the offense to understand, resulting in several false start penalties. The Jets quarterback denied these claims and called on the former HC to hold the players accountable.

Saleh later took back his words. But it was as if Saleh’s two-minute warning sounded the moment he lost to the Vikings in London. The Jets’ QB threw three interceptions in the game; the O-line couldn’t protect him. Then there were failures in the running game and the defense couldn’t do much in the 23:17 defeat.

Woody Johnson felt like he was running in circles and his team was repeating the mistakes of the past. Therefore, circumstances forced the team owner to ask his director of security to escort Robert Saleh from the Jets facility.
