The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback wrote a letter to New York general manager Joe Douglas asking the team to consider signing him.
That didn't sit well with fans - including Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath, who said during an interview on"The Michael Kay Show" on 98.7 ESPN New York on Monday that"I've seen enough of Zach Wilson."During his weekly appearance on"The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday, Rodgers said the Jets"need to hold our poise," referring to some sideline blowups between a few players and coaches during the game Sunday.
Rodgers reiterated he likely won't return to the Jets' facility until he can walk, but said he misses being around his teammates and coaches and the time away has confirmed his desire to continue playing. That remains the case, but Siemian at least gives Saleh and the Jets another option if Wilson continues to falter, beginning with their next game Sunday night at home against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Career backup Tim Boyle was the only other quarterback on New York's roster.
