Aaron Rodgers didn’t stay away from the cameras for long. On Tuesday, it was on his favorite show, the Pat McAfee Show, that he returned to speak for more than an hour.
And again, suspense!
“I think I can still be MVP in the right situation. The right location, is it Green Bay or somewhere else? I am not sure. But I don’t think any opportunity should be set aside. As I said during the season, both sides have to want to work together, and I think we still have to have discussions. »
Last year, Rodgers pushed for a big new contract. This year, it seems to be to have an even stronger team around him.
“I don’t think any player wants to be part of a rebuild, I’ve said that for years. […] There are a lot of interesting names to see if there is a desire to re-sign these guys who are essential in the dressing room. It will be an interesting conversation to have. »
“If the Packers want to play the youth card and think Jordan Love is ready, then maybe they’ll go there. If so and I still want to play, then there’s only one option, right? It is to play elsewhere. And if they say “No, no, no, we want you to continue with us”, then it will have to be the right situation, with a squad that can win everything, because there is no interest in coming back if you don’t think you can go all the way. »
But above all, does Rodgers intend to continue playing? He does not know.
“I always have to mentally get to a point where I feel 100% ready to play a 19th season. And if that’s the case, then we’ll roll out and see what we do. If not, we’ll go to the jungle for a while. […] They don’t push me to give an answer, and I’m not mentally or emotionally ready to give one. »
In the jungle ? There are few cameras and microphones, Rodgers will quickly feel alone.
