Aaron Rodgers is facing yet another controversy — only this time, it’s on the green.
On the Wednesday, August 2, episode of Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take” podcast, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen accused Rodgers, 39, of cheating during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament in February, which the New York Jets QB won.
“I love Aaron, but he did [cheat],” Allen, 27, who played against Rodgers in the game, claimed on the podcast when asked about the speculation.
After host Big Cat (real name Dan Katz) accused Rodgers of sandbagging Allen — a.k.a lying about their golf handicap — Allen replied, “Not just me — the world.”
“He may have gotten seven or eight strokes too many at Pebble Beach, or nine,” Allen alleged before clarifying: “Not from me — That’s from what other sources are saying, I’m not saying that.”
Despite the serious allegations, Allen threw in a joke to ease the tension. “I think Aaron Rodgers should be in jail,” he laughed, adding: “I would say a lot of the golfers maybe thought that too.”

Allen’s accusations come after a controversial and difficult few years for Rodgers.
Last week, Rodgers took a $35 million pay cut when he restructured his two-year contract with the Jets. While he will still earn a whopping $75 million per year, his earnings are significantly less than if he had stayed with the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers was traded to the Jets in April after his 17-year-long stint with Packers ended with Rodgers at odds with the organization.
“We’ve all turned the page. It’s a new chapter. I think it’s going to be exciting for Green Bay, moving on,” Rodgers told ESPN on Saturday, July 26. “It’s definitely been really fun for me out here.”
