In a vague statement on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, FOX Sports analyst Jason McIntyre dropped a suggestion that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has something big in the works.
Without any reference to what might actually be going on, McIntyre said that he received messages about Rodgers in reference to his appearance on Joe Rogan‘s podcast.
‘Man, I heard something about Rodgers – I think you did too – at our quick little trip to the Super Bowl,’ McIntyre said before stopping himself.
‘I’m not gonna talk about it yet, but we’ll see if it comes out. I think it will be interesting for some Jets fans to hear what that guy’s got going on behind the scenes.’
McIntyre didn’t provide any more clarity on what he was saying, swiftly moving on to the next topic in the show’s news segment.

Rodgers has been plenty busy ever since he went down for the season with a torn Achilles tendon in Week 1 for the Jets.
He has been rehabbing that injury – doing so for a while in an attempt to try and return sometime before the season ended.
Unfortunately for him, he never saw the field again in 2023 and the season was written off as a lost cause as the Jets struggled.
During that time, he made weekly appearances on the Pat McAfee Show up until the start of the year when he appeared to suggest Jimmy Kimmel would be named on a list of associates of the late 𝑠e𝑥ual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Those comments got him booted off the show by McAfee himself, but Rodgers’ recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience saw the quarterback trying to clarify what he meant.
Rogan asked Rodgers, ‘So when you were saying that he doesn’t want that list to come out, you weren’t saying that he was on that list?’
‘No,’ Rodgers replied emphatically.
Rogan went on to suggest people had possibly seen the clip ‘out of context,’ to which Rodgers said, ‘Nobody watched the f***ing clip. That’s why.

‘They just saw a headline and [were like] ‘oh it’s the anti-vax guy again, let’s hammer him.’
Rodgers continued, saying how he felt attacked when Kimmel called him an ‘idiot’ on his late night talk show for suggesting that such a list existed.
This led the QB to try to explain his comments that got him kicked off McAfee’s program.
‘He had gone on his show and called me a tinfoil-hat-wearing doofus… I thought he had said that I was an idiot for even thinking that there’s a list out there,’ Rodgers said on the Joe Rogan Experience, noting that Kimmel may have thought he was trying to connect the list to recent UFO disclosures.
Rodgers continued, ‘The list hasn’t been released yet… Nobody’s gone to jail.’
Rodgers was recently seen teeing off at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am just last week, a good sign for his recovery.
