After the Jets’ painful 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos, former New York Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason made a bold statement on his WFAN radio show regarding the relationship between head coach Robert Saleh and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“I don’t even think they talk to each other,” Esiason said. “I watch to try and see if there’s any interaction on the sideline; nothing. I see a guy walking right past another guy. I remember those days because I had those days with two coaches in particular, and it was because I didn’t trust the guy…I didn’t think he knew what he was doing.”

“There is a major issue there. They’ll deny it, I guarantee it. But there is an issue there because you have a 40-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback dealing with a head coach who I think he doesn’t respect.”

Esiason also clarified that the Jets need to turn their undisciplined play around quickly if Saleh wants to keep his job.

“I think there is a pressure cooker here over in Florham Park,” Esiason said about Saleh finding himself on the hot seat. “I’m sure a lot of people over there feel it. If they continue to lose games like this and comments come out like they were yesterday, I just feel like something will have to be done if they want to save the season.”

Following a disappointing loss, the Jets have no room for error as they face a challenging stretch of games ahead. On Sunday, they will take on former Jets first-round pick Sam Darnold and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Following that matchup, the Jets host the 3-1 division-rival Buffalo Bills for Monday Night Football before heading to Pittsburgh to face Justin Fields and the 3-1 Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
