Rodgers (38) said that he would make a decision in 2022 about what he wanted to do, “in a near future, but I’m not going to keep a lot people waiting.”
He seemed to have laid out all the possible scenarios in his post-awards news conference. However, he did seem to downplay the possibility of playing for another team after mentioning that it would be the best place for him.
Rodgers paused briefly to say, “I think it’s important to take some emotion out of it” “The best decision that I can make for myself moving forward is not to place, but to what does it feel to commit to a season if this is what I want to do. I feel that my body is still in a good place.
He previously had hinted on The Pat McAfee Showhe said he’d like his decision to be made by the March 8 franchise tender deadline. The Packers will need to decide if they want to use the tag for star wide receiver. Davante Adams.
