“I did it for a purpose”Aaron Rodgers officially addressed the outcome of his trip to Egypt with….
After the Jets quarterback skipped the required minicamp in advance of the upcoming season, Aaron Rodgers spoke out about his “beautiful” trip to Egypt.
Aaron Rodgers has finally addressed his ‘wonderful’ trip to Egypt with the media after skipping the New York Jets’ mandated minicamp to tour the banks of the Nile last month.
Speaking while attending the American Century Championship golf tournament close to Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Rodgers verified rumors that he was in Egypt in June, having taken part in optional organized team activities instead of the required minicamp. The team determined that Rodgers’ absence was “unexcused,” which resulted to fines over $100,000 for the star quarterback. Rodgers is recovering from an Achilles tendon injury that prevented him from playing in all but one series of the 2023 season. It is anticipated that Rodgers will report to training camp in Florham Park, New Jersey, on July 22.
During the celebrity golf competition, Rodgers said to NBC Sports, “I felt good all spring.” Had a pleasant experience using OTAs. Had a wonderful journey to Egypt. And this match serves as a final reminder that summer will end on Sunday. “It’s fun to be out here, but walking up (hole) 18 is like super bittersweet.”
The former Super Bowl champion said that during a recent trip to Las Vegas, he had a hole-in-one. “I was fortunate enough to make an ace at 17 at Shadow Creek on my first round out,” Rodgers remarked. “That was the high point of my offseason for golf.” Although Rodgers is still the team’s starting quarterback, there has been a lot of quarterback churn on the Jets. While the Jets selected Jordan Travis from Florida State and signed veteran Tyrod Taylor, backup Zach Wilson was moved to Denver.
Similar to Rodgers, Travis just suffered a dislocation and fracture of his ankle during a Seminoles game in 2023, which ended his season.
