When Aaron Rodgers is involved, one can bet their cryptos that Colin Cowherd will have something to say. And the veteran analyst has been vocal about the New York Jets’ quarterback’s absence from the recent three-day minicamp.

Last week, Jets whistle-blower Connor Hughes reported that everyone except Aaron Rodgers and Haason Reddick were missing the mandatory minicamp. While Reddick claimed he was doing training on his own, there was no concrete news about the veteran shot-caller’s whereabouts.

After months of not having something to speak about the 40-year-old quarterback, FOX analyst Colin Cowherd finally had something that he grasped with both hands. In his view, Rodgers is free to do whatever he pleases because he believes that the Super Bowl winner is a narcissist and prefers himself over the team.

It’s a choice which I would not have made it. A new offensive line, lot of new pieces, new receivers a coach in the hot seat and I took four snaps last year. I should have showed up.
Colin Cowherd said during Monday’s episode of FS1’s The Herd

Rodgers joined the Jets in the 2023 offseason after spending more than 15 years with the Green Bay Packers. Cowherd claimed the Packers who failed to qualify for the playoffs in Rodgers’ last year, made it in with Jordan Love in his first year as a starter. According to him, the Packers would be laughing back in Wisconsin because they had already faced the same in the last 4-5 years.

This is absolute validation for what they [Packers] went through... They are just smirking and laughing at the Jets.
Colin Cowherd said

Jets head coach Robert Saleh in a press conference claimed the quarterback was in touch with him, stating that Rodgers was taking care of something personal.

Insider provided a hint on Aaron Rodgers’ location

Cowherd in his rant against Rodgers added that NFL Network’s Albert Breer would join him for more information. Although Breer did not reveal the exact location of the four-time NFL MVP, he did hint that it was a darkness retreat.

The best I can answer this right now that I feel solid about is that he is somewhere that they could not excuse and maintain credibility with the rest of the locker room, but would be expected, would not be a [out-of-left-field] thing for him. So you guys can open your mind, so to speak, as he’s been known to open his mind sometimes, into all the possibilities.
Albert Breer said per the New York Post

Rodgers’ teammate Sauce Gardner wasn’t happy that the media was making too much fuss about his absence. Gardner wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that the 10-time Pro Bowler is a future Hall of Famer and even though he missed the mini-camp, he was present during the other phases of offseason training.
