NFL fans who have been waiting to witness Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers on the same commentary panel, are in for a shock. It seems the veteran Green Bay Packers QB has no intention of pursuing a career in broadcasting and commentating. Unlike his Tampa Bay Buccaneers counterpart, who signed a massive deal with Fox Sports in the last off-season. Rodgers also is not counting on staying on in the NFL, or any aspect of ‘pro football’ at all.

Appearing on an episode of the Pat McAfee Show aired in 2020, Rodgers talks about what retirement would look like for him. “I’ve given, physically, so much to the game, and mentally through all the years, — I feel like I’ll be pretty satisfied with what I did and what I contributed and move on at that point.”

He added, “I think it’d be fun to help out an age group that I feel like is real impressionable still, like high school kids. I think being able to, you know, just volunteer, help, or just help with some quarterback stuff, I think would be fun. Just because I love the game so much, I don’t want to totally get out of it, but as far as the pro level, yeah, I mean, I don’t see myself doing anything with it.”

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers start the season in a dismal fashion

Aaron Rodgers has played with the packers for 16 years, but this might be the most frustrating season he’s played so far. The Packers’ trading Davante Adams in the pre-season was a heavy blow to their receiver corps. But instead of plugging that massive gap, Green Bay brought in more defensive players. A gamble that ultimately did not pay off.

The Packers are 3-5, and on a three-game losing streak. Without good receivers, and injured plaguing their current starters, their chances look slimmer and slimmer on getting to the playoffs. Allen Lazard and Christian Watson, the Packers’ top two receivers, are most likely not going to play their next game.

Rodgers himself has been very vocal about the need for a fresh receiver in the offense. And time and again, he’s taken the time to subtly criticize the lack of a proper receiver corps. But with the trade deadline over, what can the Packers do to ensure they can turn their fortunes around? A team that started out as potential Super Bowl contenders, will they be able to properly use their reigning MVP QB?
