The speculation started in June, when New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was fined by coach Robert Saleh for missing a mandatory minicamp. Since then, his relationship with Saleh has been under a microscope.

On Tuesday, Rodgers refuted the perception that he and Saleh aren’t getting along.

“Rob and I have a great relationship; we have since Day 1 when I got here,” Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “We have text-message conversations, threads that we’re in, conversations about a number of different topics outside of football. We have a good friendship.”
