Saleh allegedly threatened to take his staff’s cell phones away.
“The coach held a meeting with his staff two days later where he asked the leaker to reveal himself, according to multiple people in attendance. ‘If you come forward now, you won’t get in trouble,’ he told them while threatening to take their cell phones,” Rosenblatt and Russini of The Athletic reported.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed it on an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
“That’s a problem with the organization,” Rodgers said. “We need to get to the bottom of whatever this is coming from and put a stop to it privately, because there’s no place in a winning culture … and this isn’t the only time. There’s been a bunch of other leaks.”
Zach Wilson did end up starting that Week 14 game against the Texans which the Jets happened to win 30-6.
