Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continued to keep the NFL fans in the dark about his plans by delaying his announcement.

The anticipation surrounding his decision hit a fever pitch following his Instagram post that raised eyebrows in the NFL world. It was a long thank you post titled ‘Monday Night Gratitude’, which showed his appreciation for all his fiancee, teammates, and the career he had enjoyed in Wisconsin. On Tuesday, during his recent appearance on the ‘Pat McAfee Podcast’, he revealed that he was on a 12-day cleanse called Panchakarma.

The fans weren’t happy about his postponement, and many felt a sense of being outfoxed by the Packers’ QB. The appearance that lasted 41 minutes was seen more as a reflection of his past, and some fans didn’t understand that and just wanted the announcement.
Aaron Rodgers incurs the wrath of fans on Twitter
He hints while talking about his future that he has some more things to contemplate before reaching his decision. He left little nuggets of information for the Packers fans that might be promising for them, including an improving relationship with the organization.
Rodgers was quite happy with the openness and honest conversations he had with the Packers. He appreciated the extra mile the franchise went to convince him to stay in Wisconsin.
But NFL fans on Twitter were less than kind towards the reigning league MVP. They expressed their displeasure about his indecisiveness. Many felt Rodgers is trying to be attention-seeking and thinking about dragging the franchise through the free agency. While some others found the humorous side of the impatience of the fans. The outcome of Rodgers’ appearance on McAfee’s podcast resulted in a social media meltdown.
Dudes such a diva. Has as many rings as Stafford and Foles. Not worth the distraction

Its funny how he gets the attention of a Brady but has a 1/7th the prestige

Remember when he said he was going to have a decision “before the start of free agency?” I know there’s still a month left before it starts but i just got the vibe that he’s going to drag this thing out well into the summer.

The criticism that Rodgers received is because many fans and media outlets assumed he would be announcing his decision. The decision is being stalled, and every Aaron Rodgers appearance he makes will bring up the question about his decision. It will be a rough time for many Packers fans. They would be hoping that he decides to stay so that this painful wait can be worth it.
