Jets coach Robert Saleh would ‘be shocked’ if Aaron Rodgers retires; Rodgers seems to agree with first comments since injury

Though he knows the decision isn’t up to him, Robert Saleh doesn’t think Aaron Rodgers’ football career is done.

Saleh, two days after Rodgers tore his Achilles on just his fourth play with the New York Jets in their season opener, thinks the 39-year-old veteran quarterback will be on the field next season.

“I’d be shocked if this is the way he’s going to go out,” Saleh said Wednesday, via ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

Rodgers seemed to echo that sentiment in an Instagram post on Tuesday afternoon, which marked his first comments since his injury.
