Aaron Rodgers appeared on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ as a part of his weekly schedule on Tuesday. And he responded to some rumors floating around about his future in the NFL.
“I’ve been enjoying my time off,” Rodgers said subtly on trade rumors.
He then talked about how he is spending his time off the field, meeting friends and going out on a trip. Rodgers does not seem to be thinking about the future as of yet.
“I had a trip out to Nashville to see Randall Cobb and my godson for his birthday. And I got to run into the Bakhtiari clan, so I got to see Dave, he looks happy. I’ll admit he’s definitely put on some lbs in his recreation time. He assures me that they’ll come off pretty quickly, but he looks a little bloated right now. He says it’s some of the baby weight that’s just coming off now. Great to see him and his brothers and his sister and his brother-in-law. Every time you go to a Bakhtiari event, you know it’s gonna be a good time,” Rodgers told Pat McAfee.
