Aaron Rodgers was spotted at a UFC event in Las Vegas last night, just days after missing the Jets’ mandatory minicamp due to an apparent trip to Egypt. His absence had raised eyebrows and sparked rumors, but it seems that he was simply enjoying a break from football.
Rodgers sat with former Packers teammate Marcedes Lewis to watch the fights, which drew attention from fans and media alike. Despite the controversy surrounding his absence from minicamp, which was labeled as an unexcused absence and resulted in a fine, Rodgers seemed unfazed by the attention.
When asked about his absence during an interview on FS1, former Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling had no idea what Rodgers was up to. He simply mentioned that he knew Rodgers had been out of town for a while but didn’t know where he was or what he was doing. This only added fuel to the speculation and rumors surrounding Rodgers’ trip to Egypt.
When Rodgers finally addresses the media, it will be interesting to hear his explanation for missing minicamp and his thoughts on being fined by the team. He may also take the opportunity to criticize those who commented on his absence, suggesting that there are ulterior motives at play. As always, Rodgers has a history of challenging the media and questioning their integrity, so it’s likely that he will continue to do so in this case as well.
