Aaron Rodgers “wouldn’t rule out” retirement in 2021
The “ritual” is back in the Packers, and it is that it was not even necessary to wait until the end of the regular season to return to the news and statements of Aaron Rodgers, star QB of Green Bay and the top candidate for the 2021 NFL MVP , on his likely retirement after one more season in Wisconsin.
Aaron Rodgers is not ruling out retiring after this season: “I’m just enjoying this season for this season, and playing next year will definitely be in the thought process.” He says it’s important for him to “not be a bum” on his way out, but play at high level. He’s doing that.

In the thread that can be followed on Wood’s Twitter account, Rodgers added that this does not necessarily involve going to play with another team after his retirement (due to speculation that it would be the way to get rid of the current contract he has with the Packers) , that the relationship with the GM of Green Bay, Brian Gutekunst has grown, and that the aforementioned process of reflection to decide his future will be “quick” and not a long soap opera.
