Green Bay Packers fans are entering uncertain times with the latest developments surrounding QB Aaron Rodgers and his future. The reigning league MVP appears close to leaving Wisconsin as he took to social media to thank people in his close circle. But what was even more puzzling was that the picture in the post didn’t have Rodgers in any frame. It is quite surprising since almost every post on his Instagram account has him in at least one photo.

The photo he chose for the cryptic post was showing the gap between WRs Randall Cobb and Davante Adams. Rodgers, at the time of his post, is in a deep deliberation of the choices he has for his NFL future. The open-ended post will not be Packers fans who want him to stay and play out his career with Green Bay.

The post looks more and more like a retirement speech due to the personal touch. But once again, it is only one of the interpretations of the post. The other two interpretations involve one scenario where Rodgers would stay with the Packers for one more contract. The other scenario is the Packers’ QB moving to another contender franchise with hopes of winning his second Super Bowl title.

With every passing year, Rodgers senses the window closing rapidly on his career to win another Super Bowl ring.
