Robert Saleh unbothered by Aaron Rodgers’ controversial ‘Pat McAfee Show’ takes

Robert Saleh isn’t looking to silence Aaron Rodgers. The Jets’ coach said Monday he had no issue with his quarterback’s controversial comments made throughout the season on “The Pat McAfee Show.” Saleh also indicated he would have no issue if Rodgers is back on the show during the 2024 season.

The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported Wednesday it’s unclear if Rodgers will be back this fall after Rodgers’ weekly appearance ended prematurely . “I promise you. I don’t think anyone really cares about — inside these walls, his teammates — no one cares about the McAfee Show,” Saleh said during “The Michael Kay Show” on Monday .

“I think that’s more just noise for the outside world. But just the things in here, and the things that we need to do better as an organization, as players, as coaches, all of us, in terms of stop sweating the small stuff, and let’s worry about winning football games. “Pat McAfee’s show is entertainment.

It’s what he does. He makes good money off it. Good for him. And they’ve put together a good product. But at the same time, I promise you nobody really cares about what’s said on ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’” Teams often discuss how they want to limit distractions, and it’s more than fair to say that Rodgers’ comments can fall in that category.

Not every team has to worry that their star quarterback will allege a late night television host is on the associates list of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, like Rodgers did when he recently commented that Jimmy Kimmel is hoping he won’t be on said list. Rodgers even acknowledged how distractions are harmful.

“The bulls–t that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building,” Rodgers said Monday. “That will be the focus moving forward.” Saleh downplayed the notion that those bizarre comments infiltrate the team’s Florham Park facility. “It makes for entertaining conversation, but it’s not like ‘Oh, my God,’” Saleh said.

“There’s nothing dramatic. You guys should sit down and talk to him about holistic foods and all that. It’s a fascinating conversation, to be honest with you. There’s nothing negative about it. It’s just how you approach it, and I don’t think anybody in the locker room takes any of that with negativity.”.
