Jets Locker Room in Chaos After RB’s Affair With Coach’s Wife Leads to Shocking Retirement
Shockwaves tore through the Jets’ facility this week after a deeply personal scandal involving one of the team’s youngest players threw the offseason into chaos. The fallout was swift, decisive, and impossible to ignore.
It started quietly — with a simple request for a day off from training camp, reportedly for “personal reasons.” At first, no one thought twice about running back Zach Evans’ absence.
But by that afternoon, everything unraveled. Evans’s position coach came home earlier than expected — and walked into a situation that left no doubt about what was happening.
Word spread through the locker room within hours, shaking the foundation of team trust and professionalism. The unwritten locker room code had been broken, and the consequences came fast.
Evans, a promising sixth-round pick out of Ole Miss, made his decision official later that evening: he was retiring from football. His agent cited “personal matters,” but those inside the building already knew the truth had ended his career before it ever truly began.
For the Jets, the damage went beyond losing a young player. Tension filled the locker room as players and coaches tried to process what happened — and how to move forward.
Evans’s NFL journey ends after just two seasons, leaving behind a cautionary tale about trust, boundaries, and the price of crossing the line. The Jets declined public comment, shifting focus back to football as camp rolls on.
One lesson remains clear: in the NFL, talent may open doors — but respect keeps them from slamming shut.
