Aaron Rodgers Calls It Quits — Packers Fans Are Still Trying to Process It
Okay, this one hits hard. After 20 years of lighting up the NFL, Aaron Rodgers just announced he’s officially hanging up his cleats. Yeah, that Aaron Rodgers — the guy who was basically the face of the Green Bay Packers for nearly two decades.
Here’s the twist though: remember how Rodgers always said he wanted to finish his career with the Packers? Well, that didn’t exactly pan out. Instead, he spent his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wild, right?
The backstory is a bit messy. After the Jets wrapped up a disappointing season, Rodgers wasn’t sure if he even wanted to play again. The Jets basically told him, “Thanks, but no thanks,” and cut him loose. And then, it was only the Steelers who showed interest — so that’s where he landed.
In a recent chat with Pat McAfee, Rodgers got real about it: he said the one-year deal with Pittsburgh was about ending his career on a high note — with love, fun, and peace. No regrets.
And man, looking back at his career stats? Insane. Over 24,000 completions, 503 touchdowns, four MVPs, and so many epic moments that Packers fans (and football fans everywhere) will never forget.
So yeah, the NFL is officially saying goodbye to one of the greats. Packers fans might still be picking up the pieces, but Aaron Rodgers is ready to close the chapter — and what a ride it’s been.
