“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.

"Not that I wouldn’t enjoy it if I’m still healthy and playing the way I want to play"

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

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.
