Aaron Rodgers Thanks Packers Teammates, More on IG amid Rumors of Uncertain Future

It's unclear what the future holds for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but the two-time reigning MVP thanked his teammates Monday for their hard work during the 2021 campaign:

Rodgers told former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee on The Pat McAfee Show that "everything is on the table" for his football career, whether it's returning to Green Bay, playing for another team or retiring.

Since the Packers' loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs, there have been numerous rumors about Rodgers' next step.

He also told McAfee last month he would consider announcing a decision on his future on his show, where he is a frequent guest.

Then came the rumors earlier this month, when ESPN's Jared Stillman reported Rodgers was building a home in Tennessee and that a source said he would be "open" to joining the Titans in 2022. However, Turron Davenport of ESPN later reported the Titans "don't consider Rodgers to be an option" for them next season and are planning to stick with Ryan Tannehill.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported last week the Packers were "willing to offer" Rodgers a contract extension to make him the league's highest-paid quarterback, one "worth more than $45 million annually."

ESPN's Adam Schefter added the team was "prepared to go all-in" for the veteran this offseason by "spending as close to the cap this year and spreading it into future years as much as possible."

The franchise is also reportedly bringing back Tom Clements as quarterbacks coach, likely in an effort to convince the four-time MVP to stay. Clements previously served as quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator and assistant head coach in Green Bay over the years.

Rodgers completed 68.9 percent of his passes for 4,115 yards and 37 touchdowns against four interceptions during the 2021 season.

If he were to play elsewhere in 2022 or retire, the Packers would be left with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love, who has made just one NFL start. He completed 19 of 34 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 13-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 7.
