Aaron Rodgers makes feelings clear as ex-Green Bay Packers team-mate rubs salt in wounds.Cau

 

Aaron Rodgers couldn’t help but clap back indirectly at Tom Brady after former team-mate David Bakhtiari called out his record for being the most sacked quarterback ever.

The New York Jets quarterback was tackled in the pocket for the 566th time in his team’s 40-14 loss against the Buffalo Bills. The 41-year-old overtook ex-New England Patriots icon Brady’s record of 565 sacks conceded during his 23-year career.

While this NFL record isn’t one that Rodgers will want to claim, he was reminded of it immediately after the game by his ex-Green Bay Packers teammate Bakhtiari. The offensive tackle spent nine years with Rodgers at the Packers, winning six division championships together.

However, he was on hand to rub some salt in Rodgers’ wounds, as he replied to a tweet of the sack record and said: “Hell yeah! Congrats @AaronRodgers12 another one for the record books!!!!”

Despite this cheeky dig from Bakhtiari and a 4-12 record hanging over his head, Rodgers was determined to make a joke of his unfavorable sack record. Speaking after the game, the 41-year-old said: “Yeah, I got Tom in that.”

Rodgers may have the sack record over Brady, but the former Patriots star still holds some of the most successful titles in all of the NFL. The 47-year-old has the most Super Bowls as a quarterback, the most Pro Bowl selections and still leads the NFL in most quarterback play off wins ever.

Both quarterbacks have played in the league for over 20 years, with Brady retiring in 2023 and Rodgers still continuing to play into 2025. While the Jets star is still playing at the highest level of the sport, many people will expect Rodgers to consider retirement soon due to his injuries beginning to pile up.

Just last year, Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the first game of the season and was placed on injured reserve in his debut season in New York.

While he has kept himself relatively healthy over 2024, the Jets’ poor record of 4-12 may mean that fans could call for him to give up the ghost before he adds to his sacks conceded tally.
