The Packers QB is known to use unconventional methods to explore his mind before reaching a decision. He took part in an ayahuasca ceremony during the offseason in 2020 and 2022. Fortunately, he was not penalised by the league for his actions. However, A-Rod won MVP for two consecutive seasons starting in 2020.

If the Ayahuasca ceremony turns out constructive for Rodgers, he has a few options for his next move. The Jets and the Raiders are the major contenders for signing Rodgers if he plans to exit the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers has made it clear that he will work things out in his own way. But to the team’s credit, they have stood by Rodgers with all his peculiarities. The Packers would hope that Rodgers stays for at least another season, given his crucial role in the team. Their QB would also be mindful of the fact that he won the MVP continuously for two years. So A-Rod’s decision might depend on his darkness retreat.
