While Aaron Rodgers didn’t have too many nice things to say about the Jets’ new head coach, Aaron Glenn, he was much more complimentary of Giants head coach Brian Daboll during the future Hall of Famer’s appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday. 

The Giants were one of the teams that had been interested in Rodgers’ services and Rodgers confirmed that he had spoken with Daboll, which the QB described as a “great conversation.”

“I’m not going to get into specifics about every team that I talked to,” Rodgers told McAfee after the host asked him which teams he had spoken with during free agency. 

“It was a few teams. … I will say I did talk to Brian Daboll and had a great conversation with him. Really enjoyed him a lot. I think he’s a lot of fun to talk to and has a beautiful football mind. Him and Josh [Allen], he had Josh in Buffalo, and Josh is one of my closest friends in the league. I just enjoyed the conversations. He’s a really bright football mind.”

The Giants eventually moved on from waiting for Rodgers to make a decision on where his football future was headed, opting to sign the free-agent tandem of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. 

Rodgers remaining in the Big Apple would have been another twist in the already bizarre saga he’s had since forcing his way out of Green Bay during the spring of 2023. 

The 41-year-old’s two years with the Jets were marred by injuries and off-the-field drama, which resulted in two lost seasons and a less-than-glowing review on the organization’s handling of their final meeting together on Feb. 9. 

Rodgers blasted the Jets during the same “The Pat McAfee Show” appearance, calling the meeting “strange” and insinuating that Glenn was concerned that Rodgers would undermine the new coach in team meetings. 

“It was a very strange meeting, for sure,” Rodgers said. “There was no me pleading, ‘Please have me on the team.’ I don’t want to be a part of that. It was already a debacle in some cases. That whole situation was crazy. That was a little rogue by the head coach.”

Rodgers has not made a decision on where, or even if, he’ll be playing in 2025 and told McAfee that people in his inner circle were dealing with “difficult stuff.” 

“I’m open to anything and attached to nothing, so retirement could still be a possibility,” he said.
