Since the end of the NFL draft, the Jets added two veterans that played with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay: long-time Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb and veteran offensive tackle Billy Turner. The additions have once again reignited the idea that Rodgers gave the Jets a “wish list” of additions ahead of the trade.
When speaking with the media, coach Robert Saleh brushed aside the “wish list” narrative, arguing that new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who previously held the same position with the Packers, has history with these players as well.
“I’m going to try and say this as respectfully as I can, I’m not attacking anyone, I do think it’s a silly narrative,” he said. “There’s 32 teams in the NFL. It’s common practice for, when you have a new coaching staff, that you surround those people with people they are familiar with.”
