Aaron Rodgers told he's "holding Green Bay Packers hostage" as NFL star slammed

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been told to end the speculation over his future, as his huge contract is keeping the organisation 'hostage'.

Rodgers will be enjoying an extended off-season break after the Packers missed out on playoff football on the final day of the regular season. The Detroit Lions - who were already eliminated from contention, beat the Packers 20-16 at Lambeau Field to deny them playoff football.

It's been a disappointing year for the Packers, and it's the first time since 2018 that they'll not be heading into the post-season. Rodgers was visibly distraught as the Packers missed out, but the 39-year-old has been told to retire by Undisputed host Shannon Sharpe.
