Aaron Rodgers was expected to kick start this season positively, however, after being sidelined from the previous campaign due to injury, it seems like the New York Jets' player is subject to potential fines. 

The 40-year-old skipped the pre-season minicamp and following this, the player is more likely to be published for doing so. 

Why was Aaron Rodgers absent from mandatory Jets' minicamp?

Coach Robert Saleh has revealed to the reporters that Aaron Rodgers is not attending the mandatory Jets' minicamp. Although the head coach did not explain the reasons, he did reveal that the quarterback had spoken to him ahead of the “QTAs”. 

Saleh told the reporters, “He's been very good at communication. He's been here the entire time. It's unexcused, but he had an event that was very important to him, which he communicated.”


The “important” event has not been specified, however, the coach and everyone are aware that the team needs to be disciplined. Along with Rodgers, pass-rusher Haason Reddick is another player to be absent from the training. 

It has been reported that Rodgers will be subject to a fine for not showing up to the minicamp. As per a report in AS, $16,953, $33,908, and $50,855 are the amounts he will have to pay for a period of three days which counts to $101,716 in total.
