“So that’s one thing I absolutely could say. My opinion would be there is a 0% chance Aaron retires…Did people really think that was a possibility? But if you actually look at it Pat, just go back…

Aaron Rodgers not ready to retire
While very few analysts gave merit to the idea of Rodgers actually retiring, it was a cause of concern for Packers fans. Rodgers wanting to leave doesn’t put an end to the matter. The Green Bay Packers organization has to agree to let him go via a trade.

Rodgers has seemingly had enough in Green Bay. However, there seems to be more to it. Rodgers has spoken very kind words about the Packers franchise, fan base, and the city of Green Bay. So it doesn’t appear as though he wants to leave.
