While participating in one of the most popular retirement activities in the world, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers once again mused about his own retirement.

“I think about it all the time,” Rodgers said following Wednesday night’s vanity TV golf event.

“We you commit, you’re 100 percent,” Rodgers said. “But the older you get, the interests change, and the grind, I think, wears on you a little more. . . . The football part is the easy part. That’s the joy. It’s the other stuff that wears on you and makes you think about life after football. Tommy obviously set the bar so high with playing so many years, but I can definitely see the end coming.”

Rodgers considered retiring after the 2020 season and again after 2021. His new contract gives him the flexibility to walk away whenever he wants.

He claims that, last year, he entered the weekend before the start of training camp 50-50 on whether to play. What if that happens to him again? What if he decides between now and late July that he just doesn’t want to do it anymore?

Again, if he’s truly thinking about retirement “all the time,” it’s impossible to rule it out at any time.

I think this will be twisted into something way worse, but personally, I appreciate the candid insight Aaron Rodgers provides here.

Every player considers it. All.The.Time. A few of the greats get to retire on their own terms. Annoying isn't it Florio? Nothing to see here. Move along.

I think they made Aaron a deal. They bent over backwards, broke the cap, traded for Cobb. They went all in for Aaron to get another ring, and in exchange, he's gonna stay until Love is ready, then step aside.

The narrative will be Rodgers should have given the Packers more of a heads up so they could plan for the future.

It's always gonna be something, because people can't find other things to do during the off-season and need something, anything to chirp bout.

Going for batting average or going for home runs and RBIs. No matter what happened someone was complaining. (That was after he noticed the infield playing back so he dropped a bunt down the 3rd base line to drive in the winning run.)

These guys want clicks on their links so they want to complain about something. Anything. In his day Howard Cosell was both the most loved and most hated broadcaster at the same time. When someone asked him about it he shrugged at said it doesn't really matter as long as they know who I am and are talking about me.

Most QBs don't play as long as Rodgers has played. So him thinking about it isn't such a surprise. Or at least it shouldn't be.
So him admitting it shouldn't be news worthy, should it?
A lot of players play well past their good years, and probably should have retired before that point. So being aware of your talent possibly deteriorating and knowing when it's time to go is important.
So far, Rodgers has been playing at a high level. But I'm sure even he knows that at some point in the not so distant future will come to an end.
