“I’m pretty sure this is it,” said the quarterback on The Pat McAfee Show.
Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers might only play his former team just one time in his NFL career. On his Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he told ESPN’s crew that this will more than likely be his final season in the NFL.
“I’m pretty sure this is it,” said the four-time MVP. “That’s why we just did a one-year deal.”
Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers just before minicamp, allowing the 42-year-old to redeem himself for his five-win tenure with the New York Jets.
The Packers will play the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 8, a game that is currently scheduled to be played on Sunday Night Football. There will be no shortage of eyes on that game. The Steelers, overall, will have a large national presence early on in the season. Four of their six games from Week 4 to Week 10 will be island games, either played in primetime or the early kick slot in Europe.
