“Clearly, when you will have a man that does not present up for obligatory mini-camp — and, by the best way, he is your quarterback coming off an [Achilles] damage — I believe that is a fully ridiculous message you ship to the crew,” Ryan instructed the “DiPietro & Rothenberg Present” (h/t Cimini).
“If he comes again, issues could be totally different. If he is again, it ain’t gonna be the nation membership, present up at any time when the hell you need to present up. That ain’t gonna occur. I will simply depart it at that,” Ryan stated.

Rodgers, 41, has not clarified whether or not he’ll retire this offseason. After a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18, the four-time MVP remained noncommittal about his future.
“I simply want a while away to consider my future within the sport and my future right here, if they need me to be a part of the subsequent section or in the event that they’re prepared to maneuver on,” Rodgers told the media. “Both means, I am grateful for my two years right here.”
Even when Rodgers returns — which appears unlikely — Ryan nonetheless should not be the Jets’ high candidate.
Ryan beforehand served as Jets HC from 2009-14, going 46-50 and main the membership to 2 AFC Championship Video games. He was Buffalo Payments HC from 2015-16 however went 15-16 earlier than they fired him.
