New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said it’s “deceiving” to assert that he missed the team’s mandatory minicamp last month since it fell within the voluntary “OTA schedule.”He made the remarks on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take” podcast published Monday morning. They marked his first public comments since taking an unexcused absence from the mandatory two-day minicamp to instead take a trip to Egypt. At the time, Rodgers’ absence was chalked up to a prior commitment.”They can arbitrarily put a tag on whatever week of OTAs they want and say, ‘This is the minicamp week,’ which makes it somehow more mandatory than the other weeks,” Rodgers said on the podcast. “But it was an OTA schedule. That’s how words can be a little deceiving from time to time. They can make a story out of the fact that I missed minicamp, but it was really two OTA days, but (I) came to the first 10.”Minicamp is still a mandatory event, per the collective bargaining agreement.”I’m sure I’ll get fined for that,” said Rodgers, 40.
