Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was Rodgers’ former teammate on the Packers, joined “The Herd” on FS1 on Thursday and told host Jason McIntyre that he was working out with the quarterback in the Los Angeles area on Wednesday.

“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I had been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to LA, and said, ‘Let’s run some routes,'” Valdes-Scantling said.
“So we got it in. Went out to some high school and ran some routes together. We’re good. It was good.”
McIntyre, a longtime Jets fan, responded, “All the New York media can stand down. Aaron Rodgers is back from Egypt! It’s not a secret anymore!”
Valdes-Scantling played with the Packers from 2018-21, then spent two years on the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl championships with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid both seasons.
This offseason, Valdes-Scantling signed a one-year deal with the Bills worth up to $4.5 million.

“Aaron and I are on the exact same page,” Saleh said. “There’s no issue between Aaron [and I] or his teammates for that matter. We addressed it [Tuesday]. It’s more of an issue for everyone outside the building than it is inside. That’s about it.”
