Aaron Rodgers' famous "I’ve been immunized" comment three years ago wasn’t just a slip-up, it eroded his credibility. Now, with the firing of former Jets coach Robert Saleh, we’re left wondering if Rodgers had a role. While Rodgers clearly didn’t give the order to fire Saleh, his actions might have had an impact.

Imagine this: Rodgers hears about the demotion of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett during a staff meeting. He might have made a call, not to get Saleh fired, but to save Hackett. If that meant Saleh’s job was at stake, Rodgers wouldn’t have shed a tear. After all, he has the power, given his achievements and the $30 million he gave up to join the Jets.

It’s logical to think that team owner Woody Johnson wouldn’t have fired Saleh without checking in with Rodgers first. If Rodgers had wanted Saleh to stay, he could have said so. He’s not shy about expressing his thoughts. The fact that he didn’t speak out against the firing suggests he didn’t mind it happening.

Rodgers might insist he didn’t want Saleh gone, but actions speak louder than words. His silence implies he was okay with the decision. It’s like he could have prevented it but chose not to. This says a lot about how he feels, even if he says otherwise.
