Aaron Rodgers, Haason Reddick missing Jets' mandatory minicamp; absences 'unexcused'

The New York Jets will open mandatory minicamp without two of their biggest names: Aaron Rodgers and Haason Reddick.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Tuesday that Rodgers and Reddick were both unexcused absences from minicamp.

Skipping the two-day minicamp subjects each player to fines. According to the NFL's current collective bargaining agreement, players who miss minicamp without an excused absence can be fined $16,953 for the first day and $33,908 for the second day ($50,855 for a potential third day). Rodgers and Reddick are subject to a total of $50,861.
