Aaron Rodgers's suggestion that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is on the Jeffrey Epstein client list has opened a "big can of worms" for ESPN, according to a report.

On Wednesday, ESPN's Pat McAfee apologized for the show's role in Rodgers's remarks about Kimmel. Rodgers has remained silent. 

Apart from the potential liability Rodgers has incurred by linking Kimmel to Epstein, Rodgers's remarks could prompt Disney to tell ESPN to ban Rodgers from McAfee's show.

"Rodgers has a deal with McAfee's show that would be tough to void," a source said. "Both Rodgers and McAfee don't care about repercussions."
