The star quarterback speaks about his future and does not rule out a change of franchise as well as a career end. His decision could also affect another superstar.
Munich – Will Aaron Rodgers end his career after the current season? At least the Green Bay Packers quarterback is not ruling it out. “I just enjoy season after season and playing next year, I’ll definitely consider it,” Rodgers said at a press conference.
But he also said it was important to him to leave at the highest level. He doesn’t want to go out of the NFL as a “bum”.
Rodgers and the Packers are at the very highest level this season. Green Bay became the first team to reach the playoffs and leads the NFC after 15 games with 12 wins and three losses.
Rodgers also stressed that he is not necessarily thinking about playing for another team next season, but did not rule out a move. The compliments he recently paid to the Packers and Brian Gutekunst were “from the heart”.
No matter what the decision is, the 38-year-old wants to decide spontaneously. After the end of the season, he wants to sit down with people from his closest private circle and the Packers and decide if and how to move on.
Future of Davante Adams also uncertain
Rodgers is not the only superstar who could leave the Packers after this season. Wide receiver and offensive life insurance Davante Adams will become an unrestricted free agent in the spring and is unlikely to be short of offers. Because the Packers could have cap problems, a stay is still uncertain at the moment.
As Adams now explained, his decision also depends on his quarterback: “Of course that plays a role. I’m playing with the best quarterback at the moment,” he explained at a press conference. “A lot of factors depend on that, so it’s not the only point, but it does play a certain part. I will follow the situation closely,” said the 29-year-old.
So it’s quite possible that the duo of Rodgers and Adams will only be available in a double pack next summer.
