Aaron Rodgers is not retiring. He isn’t returning to the Green Bay Packers.
However, that doesn’t mean he is a New York Jet, quite yet. The teams have not been able to figure out compensation for Rodgers.
The multiple-time MVP-winning quarterback said on Wednesday’s “Pat McAfee Shows” he is going to play in 2023, just not for the team that drafted him in 2005.
Some of the snippets from an enlightening interview:
