Aaron Rodgers has been through a roller coaster of a season. The veteran QB has dealt with injuries to his ribs and thumb.

With Rodgers far from his MVP form, speculation surrounding the QB’s future with the Packers is thriving within the NFL world.

Apart from a few instances where the QB displays his anger on the field, Rodgers is a relatively calm individual. The quarterback’s ability to answer tough questions with the same intonation as describing a mundane task like doing laundry makes it difficult for fans to decipher the gravity behind his words.
While speaking to reporters, Rodgers was asked about whether the longevity of the stay of younger players on the Packers squad would impact his decision to continue as QB1. He responded, “Well, I think first and foremost it’s going to be my own physical and mental health and how I’m feeling about committing to you know another year, two, three down the road.” While it’s no surprise that Rogers is prioritizing his needs in this scenario, he also stated that his teammates also play a minor role in keeping him bound to the Packers.

A-Rod said that the relationships he has with the team are important to him. He added, “I think there’s [sic] three or four other guys on offense who have kind of unsettled futures so I’m sure keeping those guys around would definitely give me something to look forward to because those relationships are so important to me.” While this may not seem like an extraordinary revelation, the accusations that have been thrown at Rodgers in the past are contrary to what the QB said.
