NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers has certainly got fans talking after posting an intriguing message on social media with his future up in the air.
The 2011 Super Bowl champion, who has yet to make any decision regarding the 2022 season, took to Instagram and reminisced on his favourite moments from the past year.
The Green Bay Packers star thanked those who he has worked with such as head coach Matt LaFleur, former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, former quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy, and backups Jordan Love and Kurt Benkert .
He also thanked teammates Randall Cobb and David Bakhtiari and their significant others that he deemed the "Friday Crew."
"I loved every moment we got to spend together this year. Your love and support was overwhelming, and I cherish the friendships I have with each of you", he wrote.
"To my teammates, past and current, you are the icing on the beautiful cake we call our job; football.
"The friendships that we have will transcend our collective time in this game and I am so thankful for the role that each of you have played in making my life that much better. I love you guys, and cherish the memories we’ve made."
He also paid tribute to ex Shailene Woodley, who he split with a year after sharing news of their engagement.
"@shailenewoodley, thanks for letting me chase after you the first couple months after we met, and finally letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life,” he went on.
"Thanks for always having my back, for the incredible kindness you show me and everyone you meet, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like, I love you and am grateful for you."
The quarterback ended his nostalgic post by encouraging everyone to spread love and gratitude.
"To everyone else, spread love and gratitude you beautiful people, and read a book once in a while too while you’re at it. Love and peace," he concluded.
The Packers’ 2021/22 season came to an end with a disappointing 13-10 loss to San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.
Despite the tough defeat, Rodgers enjoyed some individual success as he was awarded the AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award for the fourth time in his career.
Last month Rodgers stressed 'everything is on the table' regarding his future in the sport and when asked by NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti that night what his plans for the 2022 season were, he said, "I'll do some contemplating and make a decision here pretty quick."
"There are things that seem more plausible or more likely, which I won't necessarily get into. The most important thing is, first, the commitment to playing and to go into the offseason and training and all that's stuff,” he shared during an appearance on the Pat McAfee show.
"And then after that it's conversations with my agent and (Packers general manager) Brian (Gutekunst) and then looking at the desires of the team and kind of the mindset moving forward, and then make a decision from there."
