Is Aaron Rodgers already ruining Jets’ locker room dynamic? Sauce Gardner speaks up on accusation
Could Aaron Rodgers already be stirring up issues in the New York Jets locker room? Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner doesn't think so.
After rumors circled that Rodgers is expected to join the Jets, a report emerged that stated, he has a "wishlist" of players that he wants the Jets to acquire.
This includes former teammates Allen Lazard (who was signed by the Jets), Randall Cobb, Marcedes Lewis and free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
With the Jets poised to be a superteam in 2023, free agent running back Ezekiel Elliot said that they are one of the three teams he will play for this season. With rumors emerging yesterday, Jets running backs Breece Hall and Michael Carter don't like the idea of welcoming Zeke to the team.
A concerned fan Tweeted that the Jets need to stop filling their roster with older players just to make Aaron Rodgers happy because it could mess with the team's dynamic.
That's when the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year responded and spoke up on the accusation. Gardner responded by saying:
"Bro it's not. Relax."

The New York Jets are close to acquiring wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
While the New York Jets are slated to become the next superteam in the NFL, they may not be done adding talent to their roster.
ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington predicts that OBJ will end up a Jet. He said:
"We should very much consider Odell Beckham on the table for the Jets. Financials still in the way, but I still think Odell Beckham will end up with the Jets."
Thus far, the team has added former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard, wide receiver Mecole Hardman, punter Thomas Morestead, and OL Trystan Colon.

They are expected to add Aaron Rodgers this off-season once the Jets and Green Bay can agree on a compensation for him. The team could also add veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott as he revealed that the Jets are one of the three teams he wants to play for in 2023.
The Jets finished in last place in the AFC East this past season with a 7-10 record. With the new additions to their roster this off-season, they'll have a chance to dethrone the Buffalo Bills and become Super Bowl contenders.
