Aaron Rodgers VP Rumors Weren't Taken 'Very Seriously' by Jets GM; Jokes About Future

The New York Jets are no strangers to wacky offseason rumors, so when star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was rumored to be in consideration for vice president on the ticket of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the team wasn't moved in the slightest.

"I didn't take (it) very seriously," Jets general manager Joe Douglas said during the NFL's annual league meetings, per The Athletic's Zak Keefer.

When asked if Rodgers informed the team that he had spoken to Kennedy, head coach Robert Saleh replied, "He didn't have to."

Rodgers never publicly acknowledged or denied his candidacy.
