Back in June, the New York Jets were scheduled to start the very first pre-season camp but veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed it. Initially, people weren’t certain where he was but it was later known he made a trip to Egypt to visit the pyramids. It was a previously scheduled trip he decided to not cancel despite his obligations with the team. Any player who violates the rules of their team will have to face the consequences. We had no idea what the punishment was for Aaron Rodgers but he is now back training with the team and he was the one who made it clear what his punishment was. According to him, there was a financial fine he had to pay for missing out on the camp.
Aaron Rodgers has a problem with the New York Jets
How much did Aaron Rodgers pay for missing camp?
The New York Jets‘ quarterback returned this week to training, he is finally getting ready for his new season in hopes he can finally play more than just a few minutes as he did last season. Remember Rodgers suffered a nasty Achilles tendon tear that kept him away from activity for the entire rest of the season. When asked about missing camp, Rodgers told reporters this: “Obviously more of an issue outside the building than it was inside the building. I’m an adult,” he added. “I knew what I was getting into. I knew the fine that was coming. I wish there hadn’t been a conflict of scheduling-wise but, you know… was what it was.”
The practices he missed back in June made the New York Jets charge Rodgers with a little over $50,000 in fines. That’s whathe revealed during his exchange with members of the press on Wednesday. BNot that he can’t afford this sum of money, the man has made over $340 million throughout his entire career in the NFL. Also, Aaron Rodgers revealed that he had multiple conversations with teammates and coach Robert Saleh before taking his trip. So in his view, he has no problems with anybody from the team. The best way in which Aaron Rodgers has been able to deal with critics is by joking around. For instance, he showed up to practice on Tuesday wearing anEgyptian cat shirt he bout during his trip. Rodgers tends to give critics the middle finger like this quite often.
