“I just don’t see myself being 37 and still playing. Not that I wouldn’t enjoy it if I’m still healthy and playing the way I want to play, but I just see 12, 15 years, something in there, and it being quite an accomplishment, and something that I can be proud of.”

Sounds to me like he wants to win himself another Super Bowl or two and get the hell out . I respect that. Chances are he will never set the lifetime accumulation records, but that won't affect my perception of him as a quarterback in the least.

I feel more like his trying to say as long as his playing elite level and his body is up for the challenge he will be quarterbacking. I could care less about the records as long he gets more SB's the records don't mean anything (Dan Marino).

All tho if he does play until 37-38 at this pace IMO he could break a lot of records.

Brett Favre pondered retiring after winning the Super Bowl and came close to it. I think if healthy (as he said) he'll play as long as he's helping the team in a positive fashion.

So yes, I am taking Aaron Rodgers' words with a grain of salt. Still, if he would take the step of going out on top, I think that would be fun to see. It would be a whole lot better than watching him limp out of the league because he wasn't able to perform anymore.

I remember an interview he did (wish I remembered what it was through, I believe these interviews were done by Vizio). It was about a 30 minute video and he talked about how he was setting himself up for success outside of the league because football can only be there for so long. He was referring to his record label. I believe him when he says 15 years and done and I'd be okay with that. He can easily win multiple championships with this team and go out on top.

He shouldn't be thinking about another contract.
That's what he pays his agent to be doing.

Ill play devil's advocate here. There are a few QBs that are not on the same level as Rodgers but are getting paid more. He is the best QB in the NFL and will be paid accordingly when the time comes. Not sure what adjusting will need to be done to accommodate this. It might be better to set up a new contract earlier like this offseason rather than later to avoid distraction. His current contract ends in 2014 but maybe a 5 year deal sooner would be the ticket.

if he ends up wanting Peyton money, we should just trade him for a fortune,

no single player is worth that disgusting contract

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.
