Aaron Rodgers has emerged from the darkness, but he’s not quite ready to shine a light on what his future in football holds.
In his first public comments about his recent darkness retreat, and whether he’s come to a decision about playing football in 2023—and whether that will be with the Packers or another team—Rodgers says that he fully intends to make an announcement “sooner rather than later,” acknowledging that an early decision is best for all involved.
Appearing on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast Wednesday, Rodgers was asked whether he has a timeline for a decision. He cited the Packers’ situation with Brett Favre in 2008, when he retired in March before choosing to return to football months later, eventually requesting his release from Green Bay before being traded to the Jets. Rodgers, Favre’s former backup, doesn’t want things to play out in a similar way, citing “tension” among the team that summer.
