Aaron Rodgers Drops Major Hint That He's Considering Leaving Green Bay On Pat McAfee Show
Aaron Rodgers doesn't know if he'll play next season, and doesn't know when he will know, but there is one piece of clarity the Green Bay Packers quarterback doesn't question.
In his first appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" since the season ended, Rodgers said he knows good football is attainable if he chooses to continue his career.
«Do I still think I can play? Of course. Of course,» Rodgers said. «Can I play at a high level? Yeah. The highest. I think I can win MVP again in the right situation. Right situation, is that Green Bay or is that somewhere else? I'm not sure, but I don't think you should shut down any opportunity.»
The four-time NFL MVP shared that he has met with members of the team's front office but hasn't had any firm discussions about his plans moving forward.
"We had all the conversations we wanted to have about football for now," Rodgers said. "They're not pressing for any type of specific answer and I'm not mentally or emotionally at that point to give one... It's get away from it mentally and emotionally, and physically as your body starts to come back after a few weeks of TLC then I think you're in a better frame of mind to contemplate your future."
In addition to pondering his future as he weighs returning for a 19th NFL season, Rodgers said the franchise's direction would also influence a return to Green Bay. The Packers missed the playoffs for the first time in three seasons this year after finishing 8-9.
"You've got to remember, there are two sides to this," he said. "What is going on on the other side, where are we at roster-wise, focus long term, short term, all those things."
