Robert Saleh is denying reports that Aaron Rodgers came to the New York Jets with a wish list of roster additions.

The head coach said it's a "silly narrative" to say the Jets are signing former Rodgers teammates simply because the new quarterback is pulling the strings.

The Jets have added four ex-Green Bay Packers -- Allen Lazard, Tim Boyle, Billy Turner and Randall Cobb.

"It's very common for new faces to want old faces, to come in and help accelerate the installation of an entire program," Saleh said. "Everything is pinned on the quarterback. It's not just him.

"[Offensive coordinator Nathaniel] Hackett has something to say about it. He loves Lazard. He loves Randall. He took Billy Turner with him to Denver, and he wanted him here. Of course, you're going to surround a coach with people who he feels like will plant the flag.

"That whole narrative -- what people are trying to put on the quarterback -- it's tired. It's common practice in the NFL."
