The NFL world continues to watch Aaron Rodgers with excitement. The Green Bay Packers quarterback is still covered about a possible career end. Now he gives the reason for his hesitation.
Rodgers recently embarked on a journey of self-discovery to make a decision about his sporting future. Upon his return, most fans were hoping for a timely announcement, but the playmaker says that won’t happen.
Rodgers admitted in the “Aubrey Marcus” podcast that anyone interested would rather know sooner than later how he plans. However, the old master does not want to act hastily.
In this context, he refers to his predecessor Brett Favre, who had similar difficulties with his resignation. “Then, in 2008, he actually retired in March and then in June he said, ‘No, no, no, I actually want to come back and play.’ Then he was traded to the Jets,” Rodgers recalled.

At that time, Brett Favre played for a year with the New York Jets before declaring his retirement again. Shortly thereafter, he also took back this resignation and ran from 2009 to 2011 for the Minnesota Vikings.
Rodgers, on the other hand, wants to find a final conclusion when the time comes, which is why he’s taking his time. “The decision has a finality. I don’t make it easy for myself.”
Rodgers has another piece of advice for those who criticize his indecisiveness. “I answer questions about it because I’m asked about it. I talk about it because it’s important to me. If you don’t like it and you think it’s drama and you think I’m a diva or whatever, just tune in out of.”
