Video: Jets' Aaron Rodgers Refutes 'Ridiculous' Rumors He Had Role in Saleh's Firing

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers denied having any involvement in the organization's decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday.

Appearing Wednesday on the Pat McAfee Show (h/t SNY's Connor Hughes), Rodgers called the notion that he played a role in Saleh's firing "ridiculous" and "patently false."

Per Hughes, Rodgers went on to call the NFL a "tough business" before saying he "loves" Saleh and has a "solid relationship" with him. Rodgers also said Saleh was a major factor in him wanting to get traded to the Jets in the first place.
