New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers denied rumors of a rift between himself and head coach Robert Saleh in an interview with NFL Network's Kyle Brandt on Friday.

"There's a lot of stories, naturally because we're in the New York market, that most of the time don't have any legitimate legs," Rodgers said. "They're just talking points for outside the building. Whether it's me pushing Saleh, which is something he loves doing. He loves pushing his guys."

Speculation regarding potential disagreements between Rodgers and Saleh has existed since the veteran quarterback was fined by the team for skipping mandatory minicamp in June due to a planned vacation to Egypt.
