Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have ended their season on a low. After a miraculous 4 game-winning streak, the team lost against the Detroit Lions, who demolished their playoff hopes in the last week of the regular season. After the loss, the media has thrown a lot of speculation in the way of the 39-year-old QB. Whether Rodgers will return for another season or not is still pretty much up in the air. But now it seems that his decision might have an implication for another legendary QB as well.

Tom Brady is another QB who has been unclear about his plans for the future. But it has not stopped the rumor mills from turning. If the 45-year-old does come back for another season, he might also look for a change of scenery. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended the season with an 8-9 record. However, in a seriously dysfunctional NFC South this season, it was enough for them to secure the division and a place in the playoffs.

Nonetheless, there aren’t many hopes for the team to go much deeper in the postseason. So if Brady returns for another season, he might take his talents elsewhere. The two teams that have been heavily linked with the 7x-time Super Bowl champion are his former home, New England Patriots, and the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Aaron Rodgers effect

The possibility of Rodgers stepping away from the NFL is still quite unlikely. On the other hand, a change of jersey might do the trick for the back-to-back MVP. Former Packers wideout, Greg Jennings, believes Rodgers could actually extinguish any chance of Brady joining the Raiders.

“I don’t think he retires…we’ll see if there are some takers on any trades to see if Aaron Rodgers goes elsewhere. I think he ends up back in Green Bay. If not, Las Vegas is a place I’ve mentioned that I think he would entertain.” Jennings explained.
