Rodgers said he almost always considered retirement after playing the Golf exhibition fixture alongside Tom Brady, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.
“I think about it all the time. Aaron Rodgers said via ProFootballTalk that he’s retiring from the game. “But as you get older your interests change and the grind wears you out a little more, I guess…”
Rodgers continued, “The football part is the easy part. That’s the happiness. All the other things that wear on you and make you think of life after football. Tommy has obviously set the bar high by playing all these years, but I can definitely see the end coming.”
Now it remains to be seen whether he simply follows those lines and retires before the start of the 2022 NFL season, which could have a huge impact on the entire NFL.
