New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Put on Blast After Teammate Released Following Drug Charge
The New York Jets recently made the decision to release journeyman cornerback Tae Hayes. The team’s action came just one day after Hayes was arrested in Alabama for possession of marijuana. Now a free agent once again, Hayes will be looking for his seventh team in five years.
Releasing Hayes, who has struggled to stick on an NFL roster for the duration of his career, may have been a decision that the team would have made anyway.

New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Is Open about His Use of Psychedelic Drugs
Over the past few seasons, Rodgers has been very open about his use of psychedelic drugs, particularly ayahuasca, a drug that he travels abroad to take.
