Green Bay Packers quarterback says ‘no decision’ yet on his future; Rogers’ Instagram post on Monday sparked speculation that the announcement was imminent; Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst says they have “no timeline” to make a decision.
Aaron Rodgers says he hasn’t decided yet if he will return to the Green Bay Packers for the 2022 NFL season.
But the 38 year old said The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday “there will be no news today, no decision about my future.”
And on Wednesday, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said the organization had “no deadlines” to make a decision. He added: “It was more of a conversation about where we are going together. This is the process we go through and the process he goes through. We had really good conversations with Aaron.”
Speaking after the end of the 2021 NFL campaign, Rodgers said he didn’t rule out leaving the sport, applying for a trade, or staying with the Packers for an 18th season.
Rodgers won his second straight MVP award last season and his fourth overall, winning in 2011 and 2014.
The Packers went 13-4 in the regular season and won a third consecutive NFC North title before losing 13-10 at home to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional playoffs.
Rodgers said: “There is not much to say about football and it will be a topic of conversation.
“But I am looking forward to making a decision and moving forward. I think it’s better for me. It’s better for the team. This is better for all parties involved. Let’s just leave it behind.”
Rodgers says he had a “free” and “honest” conversation with Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst after he also started the 2021 season with questions about his future with the team.
