Aaron Rodgers has emerged from isolated darkness. If his time of dark contemplative silence has enabled him to come to a decision, he hasn’t made it known yet. But now, a certain individual has already jumped the gun and proclaimed Rodgers’ retirement.

Brandon Marshall took to Instagram to post a reel congratulating Rodgers on his phenomenal career. He tagged the QB in the caption saying, “@aaronrodgers12 RETIRES….CONGRATULATIONS.”

Marshall shared a video expressing his admiration for Rodgers, “So I wanted to be the first to say, ‘Salute to Aaron Rodgers for a phenomenal career.’ You are one of the greatest.” Marshall proceeded to address Rodgers and asked him to be proud of the career he’s had. “Me personally? You’re my favorite quarterback ever. Favorite. Aaron Rodgers, congratulations on a phenomenal career.”
