The media predictably exploded for a few days when skipped the mandatory minicamp. However, former Super Bowl MVP and ' actually agreed with the conventional uproar on the show: “I think it’s a bad look for your leader, for whatever reason, to go and miss [a mandatory minicamp].

I just thought it was a bad look.” It didn’t help matters that head coach Robert Saleh characterized his absence as “unexcused” despite maintaining he’s on the same page with his polarizing quarterback. Here’s what else Edelman had to say and what this offseason drama could mean for the Jets in 2024.
Takk McKinley hasn't played in an NFL game since the 2021 season, but one team is still willing to give him a chance. Rodgers’ Absence Harbinger of Drama to Come or No Big Deal? In the frenzied New York market, there is only one of two ways this can go. Either their multitude of offseason gambles pay off (cut to Jets fans laugh-crying), or it all falls apart in predictably sad Jets fashion.
Even if they just go 8-9, the NYC media will make it out as a Greek tragedy anyway. Rodgers played four snaps in 2023 before blowing out his Achilles. So if you’re Rodgers, you can perfectly toe the line, show up to every meeting 5-minutes early, and still get crushed if they don’t at least make the playoffs.
The other option is to just do whatever you want. Wha.
