New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner has responded to all the criticism being levied at teammate Aaron Rodgers over his decision to skip the team’s minicamp earlier this week.

Rodgers has been taking quite a lot of stick since Jets head coach Robert Saleh referred to his absence as “unexcused” during a press conference, although the team knew of his commitment well ahead of the mandatory practice.

While fans and the media aren’t pleased, Rodgers’ teammates aren’t bothered and are even ticked off over all the fuss,

The aforementioned cornerback happens to be one of them, and he took to X/Twitter to make it clear that folks are making a big deal about nothing, given that Rodgers participated in all of the team’s other offseason activities.

“Are y’all really making a big deal because a 15+ year HOF QB missed 2 days of practice after being with the team all throughout Phase 1, 2, & 3 of OTA’s?? GG’s,” he wrote.

 

Fans Were Split Over Sauce Gardner’s Take

Some fans were pleased to see Sauce Gardner defending his teammate.

“People are upset about Aaron Rodgers having a vacation when we normies also use our vacation time even though our work is mandatory,” one wrote.

“Sauce sticks up for his guy,” said another.

“They acting like Rodgers a rookie in the game,” a third wrote. “One of the best QBs in NFL history.”

Of course, some fans didn’t appreciate it.

“You mean the guy who said the team needed to eliminate distractions and then became one because he had better things to do than be with his team?” someone asked.

Rodgers’ whereabouts are still unknown, although Colin Cowherd said everyone would know by Thursday.

Sauce Gardner Absolutely Destroyed Zach Wilson With This Reply On ‘X’ And Fans Are Going Crazy

The New York Jets are projected to be one of the top teams in the NFC this season. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers in the fold and a stout defense led by Sauce Gardner, a young generational talent, the Jets are projected to be one of the top teams in the NFC this season.

One player who won’t be on the Jets roster after a tough start to his NFL career with the franchise is current Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson, who was brought in via trade earlier this off-season.

Zach Wilson may not be known for his proficiency on the field, but he is known for his proficiency off the field, especially when it comes to the dating game. The young signal-caller has been known to go for women much older than him.

He was reportedly sleeping with his mom’s best friend at one point. That prompted everyone to post memes about the former second-overall pick having that dawg in him. This makes Sauce Gardner’s tweet so much more hilarious and fitting!

Zach Wilson May Have Some Choice Words For Sauce Gardner

Gardner replied to an X post by @SalleyBMitchell asking, “[Are there] any teammates of yours I could move on to.” The response was hilarious: “I’ll hit Zach up to see if he’s ready to upgrade from milf to gilf.”

Fans absolutely loved the former NFL Rookie of the Year’s response. One fan commented, “Ain’t no way,” while another added, “How is this app free?” suggesting this was hilarious entertainment.

Another fan commented, “This is foul,” after seeing the post referring to the absolute flaming of Wilson’s choices in romantic involvement. Let’s hope for the case that the young QB can bounce back in 2024 and prove the doubters wrong after a tough start to his career. It would go a long way in helping him stand behind his choices.
