Robert Saleh had to be ushered out of the premises by the New York Jets’ security on Tuesday. A rather forceful move that stopped him from bidding goodbye to his now former players and staff.

With more such news coming out of their camp, the spotlight has fallen on superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers. If anything, it points fingers at a possible power play.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers was “blindsided” by the news today that HC Robert Saleh was fired. He came into the facility today with no knowledge the firing was about to happen, but sources say he did meet with ownership after the fact. Woody Johnson made the decision on his own without consulting with his HOF quarterback on the final decision.

It seems, the four-time league MVP did not have any knowledge about Robert Saleh‘s firing. Rather, it was owner Woody Johnson who made the decision on his own.

But some questions have come up once news started trickling in. For instance, it was no secret that Aaron Rodgers and his now-former head coach weren’t buddies. There was no visible altercation between them, but anyone with an eye for details would know that their relationship was uneasy.

Ever since Nathaniel Hackett was hired, it was all the more evident that it was Rodgers who had the power in his hands. Saleh even could not do much as his quarterback missed mandatory training camp. Had the 40-year-old worked out with his teammates, they could have ironed out their offensive issues.

The offensive issues led to Robert Saleh demoting Nathaniel Hackett. But as soon as he did that, he was out of his job.

Fans of football have been watching everything happening in the Big Apple. They know that none of this could be pure coincidence and a lack of understanding from Woody Johnson. Rather, they feel it is Aaron Rodgers winning in the battle for power.
