But he hasn’t gone public yet with a decision. NFL analyst Adam Schefter shares two logical options for Rodgers as the trade war gets real.
Apart from Rodgers, Derek Carr is also in the QB mix. So, the options for the face of the Packers franchise are closing in fast.

But Schefter says it will all come down to the two options. First is whether he wants to play elsewhere, which would really be the New York Jets. The second option will be retirement.

“At some point, something’s gonna have to happen here. Because Derek Carr is waiting to see where Aaron Rodgers wants to go. These teams need decisions from the quarterbacks,” Schefter told ESPN.
The Jets were the frontrunners to get Rodgers if he decided to end his time at Lambeau Field. But Carr has also held talks with the franchise too. And they promised him a Hall of Fame status if he joins the team at the MetLife Stadium.

A-Rod’s future is up in the air
Ever since the 2022 season ended, there have been a lot of speculations about the future of Aaron Rodgers. He has hinted on multiple occasions that he might want to step away from the team. Rodgers first joined the Packers in 2007 as a first-round draft pick. And he established himself as a great QB in the league. He led the team to a Super Bowl title in 2011. And he also made the Packers a fearsome team to play against. But will he play for the franchise again?
