Rodgers has made news for sharing conspiracy theories during his regular appearances on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.” He once alleged that late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel would be exposed as an acquaintance of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The network walked back his comments after Kimmel threatened legal action.

Rodgers' first season in New York ended just four snaps into his debut because of a torn left Achilles tendon that sank the Jets' Super Bowl hopes that were stirred by the QB's arrival. He worked his way back to the field to start every game this past season, but he and the offense struggled with consistency and results and the Jets finished 5-12.
