Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, one of the most iconic figures in NFL history, has once again addressed the uncertainty surrounding his playing future. At 41 years old, Rodgers made it clear that his decision to continue playing or retire will not be driven by financial factors.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the four-time regular season MVP stated firmly: “I’ve told every team—it’s not about the money. I’d play for 10 million dollars or even less. I’m open to anything and not attached to any outcome.” Rodgers emphasized that his current focus is on his personal life.

Retirement Still a Real Possibility

Rodgers hasn’t ruled out retirement, although no final decision has been made. “I’m at a different stage in my life. I’m in a serious relationship, I have other commitments… Playing again requires full dedication. I don’t know yet. But I’m considering everything carefully,” he explained.

The Super Bowl XLV champion with the Green Bay Packers also denied recent rumors linking him to teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings. “Yes, I talked to Mike Tomlin (Steelers’ head coach), but there’s nothing going on. And what Ben Roethlisberger said about the Vikings isn’t true,” Rodgers confirmed.

Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets in 2023 amid high expectations. However, his debut was cut short by a torn Achilles tendon in the first week of the season, sidelining him for the rest of the year. Despite a hopeful recovery, the Jets ended the season with a disappointing 5–12 record, missing the playoffs once again.

Still, the quarterback continued to make history. In 2024, he became the fifth QB in NFL history to surpass 500 touchdown passes, reaching 503—trailing only legends like Tom Brady (649) and Drew Brees (571).

With over 62,000 passing yards, 503 touchdowns, and a legacy built over 18 seasons with the Packers, Aaron Rodgers’ future remains undecided… but as he made clear, money won’t play a role in his final call.
