Giants Legend Doesn’t Want “Sensitive” Aaron Rodgers in New York as Jets Rumors Peak

Aaron Rodgers and his ‘darkness retreat’ have been the topic of discussion among NFL analysts since the 4x NFL MVP announced the plan on the Pat McAfee Show a week before the Super Bowl. However, the following week’s events upset Aaron. And a former NY Giants legend thinks A-Rod should drop all New York plans if he is so “sensitive.”

The Green Bay Packers quarterback has been linked to a Jets move this off-season. Jets legend Joe Namath even offered to give him his No 12. The Gang Green rookies have been at it too. However, Tiki Barber doesn’t think the Big Apple will suit Aaron Rodgers because of the brutal New York media.

What did Aaron Rodgers do?

He went after Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter. Schefter had guessed a possible trade from the Packers for Aaron. And Rapoport put out a few incorrect details about Rodgers’ retreat during his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. When A-Rod came in for his Tuesday chat with McAfee, he cleared out a few specifics.

Aaron, in simple words, explained that his so-called “inner circle” is not in touch with the media and reporters. “Nobody talks to Ian Rapoport. To Adam Schefter. Just stop with the fake news. I speak for myself and I will continue to do that,” the 2010 Super Bowl MVP said.

However, Tiki feels that when someone at Aaron Rodgers’ level goes on an isolation retreat to figure out his future in the league, it deserves discussion.

Tiki Barber thinks Aaron will be a “pain in the a**” for NY

The former running back and host of the Tiki and Tierney podcast on WFAN Sports Radio indirectly accused Aaron Rodgers of childish behavior. Tiki did not appreciate the 39-year-old veteran going after journalists for doing their job. “If he is that sensitive, that he gets upset that people, reporters, opinion-makers, influencers who want to talk about him, he is going to struggle in New York. I don’t know if I want him in New York, if this is going to be his reaction to things that don’t matter,” Tiki said.

“You’re doing something that feels odd to normal society, which is going to sit in a cabin in the woods for four days in complete isolation. We’re gonna talk about it. It’s going to turn to a quick pain in the a** if his skin is that shallow,” he added.

If New York doesn’t work out for Aaron Rodgers, he will have to look towards Sin City for the next chapter in his NFL career. That means a reunion with former wide receiver and friend Davante Adams. And Adams has already expressed his excitement to have A-Rod back in the Raiders’ pocket. The darkness retreat starts at the end of this week. And next week the NFL world should have a solid grasp on the Rodgers and Packers situation.
