FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, miffed that "conspiracy theorists" are portraying him as selfish for taking up a roster spot even though he's not playing, said Tuesday that it wasn't his idea to be activated from injured reserve.

Rodgers, in his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," said the Jets' organization wanted him on the 53-man roster so he could keep practicing with the team despite being ruled out due to his surgically repaired Achilles.
