Former Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Slams New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Since Deleted Tweet.
When the Green Bay Packers traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, two of his top wide receivers, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, went with him (Lazard was actually signed by New York before the trade, but his signing was a major indicator that the Jets were going after Rodgers). That left Green Bay with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure, Bo Melton, and three 2023 NFL Draft picks as their wide receiver group.

Aaron Rodgers Seemed Like a Different Person When He Joined the New York Jets.
By many accounts, Rodgers is a fantastic teammate. However, it apparent that he did not prefer throwing to rookie wide receivers. When the Packers drafted Watson, Doubs, and Toure in the 2022, Rodgers skipped all offseason activities until mandatory training camp.
To be fair, his beef was with the front office, not the young pass catchers themselves. That being said, Rodgers and his rookies did not start to build chemistry until late in the regular season.
After being traded to the Jets, Rodgers participated in all offseason programs, even the ones that were voluntary. He also was seen on many occasions hanging out with the team’s younger players such as Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson.
This year, Rodgers has reportedly invited 2024 NFL Draft pick Malachi Corley to stay at his guest house in New York while he finds a place of his own.
