Aaron Rodgers’ Long Pause & Sarcastic Jibe at Journalists While Answering ‘Retirement Query’ Suggests That he Might be Done With NFL

Aaron Rodgers is a superstar but the man is also one of the most controversial figures in the NFL. After making history by winning back to back MVPs, Rodgers entered the 2022 season without his star receiver Davante Adams.

As expected, things went awry for Green Bay in absence of Davante. Game after game, Aaron was struggling to find any sort of rhythm and his chemistry with the young receivers in the unit was almost non existent.

There were speculations that Aaron was thinking about retiring from the sport before the 2022 season started. However, he eventually signed a massive deal with the Packers but was clearly failing to live up to the expectations.

However, after facing 5 losses in a row, after facing astounding amount of criticism from fans and experts, Aaron pulled out the big guns to lead his side into a position from where they had a legitimate chance of making their way into the playoffs.

Is Aaron Rodgers done with the NFL?

Before entering into their season finale against the Lions, the Packers had won 4 games in a row and all of a sudden, most of Aaron’s critics who wanted the franchise to rest him and start Jordan Love had a change of heart.

Alas, Aaron couldn’t cross the final hurdle to guide his team to the playoffs as his unit was defeated by a determined Lions unit. As soon as the game ended, speculations regarding Aaron’s retirement started resurfacing.

In a recent press conference, Aaron was asked if the game against Lions was his last match at Lambeau field, what will he miss the most? Before saying anything, Aaron took a long pause, as if he had a lot to say but was finding the right set of words.

Then he started off by saying, “I am going to miss your questions Bill and Mike Clemens taking 10 seconds to do a lead up.” He then went on to list a number of journalists, taking subtle jibes at them for their work. He then quickly covered it up by saying that lately, they have been rather good.

Then suddenly, Aaron’s expressions changed and he finished it off by saying, “I’ll miss the guys, I’ll miss the fans. Thank you.” Will we get to see more of Rodgers in the next season, or have we already witnessed the last of him?
