As Playoff Hopes Dwindle, Aaron Rodgers Given ‘Zero Percent Chance’ of Retiring Next Season: “You’re Not Walking Away From $60 Million”

The Packers had a twist of fate after they swung themselves back into playoff contention. The franchise has had radical troubles, and their postseason hopes were diminishing. However, the latest wins illuminate a ray of hope. The Green Bay QB1’s status also became uncertain despite signing a massive contract. Amidst that, a famed show host kept his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers’ future in Wisconsin.

FS1’s First Things First had Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildestalk upon Aaron Rodgers. The panel contemplated QB1’s future with the franchise after they narrowly brought back postseason hopes. Wright shared his thoughts on whether this would be A-Rod’s final season.

Nick Wright mentioned, “Aaron Rodgers is so concerned in what he calls fake news and about dishonesty in media. You’re basically in the media at this point with your weekly McAfee Show. So be honest, you’re not walking away from $60 million guaranteed next year. If he plays, he gets $60 million. If he retires, he does not. He fought this offseason for the new contract which guaranteed him the $60 million. If he hadn’t signed the new contract, he would he a free agent this offseason. Free as a bird. Do whatever he wants seems attractive to him. Instead, he got the new deal, and they lost Davante Adams…”

The ‘First Things First’ host added Rodgers is avoiding a catastrophic injury. But he added his belief that the quarterback has no chance of playing.

Despite the woes, Aaron Rodgers kept himself optimistic and playoff-worthy after picking up a win over the Rams. But his post-game comments are getting massive attention.

Aaron Rodgers angered a divisional rival’s fanbase

The Packers have made a convincing rebound and still have three games remaining. Two of the games would be divisional rivalries against the Vikings and Lions. But during his post-game interview, Aaron Rodgers effectively angered the fans of an NFC North rival.

When ESPN’s Lisa Salters told Aaron Rodgers after the game that all three of his opponents had winning records, the quarterback paused to illustrate a technicality. “Well, one of them is at.500 right now,” said the Packers’ quarterback. Rodgers was referring to the Detroit Lions, a team that the Packers have systematically destroyed over the years.

Will the Packers run rampant in the final three games and make it to the playoffs? It is subject to witness.
