Older players will remember with nostalgia the days when Brett Favre was the indecisive and tiresome quarterback, while Aaron Rodgers was a cool young heir.
Ultimately, Rodgers followed in his elder's footsteps. Especially since in 2024, the star pitcher has a microphone to speak every week.
In March, he planned to play for several years. A few weeks ago, he thought he would continue in 2025.
This Tuesday? He didn't know yet.
Aaron Rodgers 'don't abandon ship'
On the Pat McAfee Show (ESPN), Rodgers responded to information from The Athletic, which reported that he would like to continue next season, but not with the Jets.
Faithful to his usual line of conduct, he denied the information circulating in the press.
“ I'll wait and see what happens at the end of the season. If they want me to come back. What's happening with Jeff Ulbrich, with the offensive staff, and obviously with the general manager since they just fired Joe (Douglas). There are many things that I cannot control. But I really enjoyed my time in New York. […] I'm not going to leave the boat. I'm not going to say “I want to play at all costs, but not in New York,” Rodgers explained. “ I don't even know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option. »
Where Rodgers is right is that part of his future is not in his hands. He could be cut quite easily at the end of the season because his salary for next season is not guaranteed.
Will play, will not play? The new Brett Favre continues to keep the suspense going.
