Anybody who thought there was any chance the Jets would bring back Aaron Rodgers, should have listened to former Jets WR Keyshawn Johnson leading up to the decision.
He repeatedly said there was no way Aaron Glenn was bringing him back.
“[Glenn] will not start off his career — now I said this first, nobody else is saying this — he will not start off his career with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback in September,” Johnson said January 24 on FS1, five days after Woody Johnson hired the new coach. “I’m saying this with a lot of confidence. … I’m just letting you know, he ain’t going to start his career with that mess. It’s not going to happen. He’s not going to allow somebody to tell him what he’s doing as a coach.”
Glenn and Johnson were Jets teammates from 1996-99 and are friends.
We should have listened. He was telling us exactly what was going to happen.
So, moving forward, I would advise everyone to listen to Johnson when it comes to insight about Glenn.
I know I should have paid closer attention to Keyshawn’s words.
It sounds like #8 didn’t have a shot at returning with the new coach.
And Keyshawn was telling us as much right out of the gate.
