NFL Twitter Reacts to Cryptic Aaron Rodgers Instagram Post

Some fans loved it, other fans didn't care for it.

Aaron Rodgers posted several pictures on Instagram with a cryptic message Monday night, and NFL fans are now trying to decipher its meaning. Green Bay’s signal-caller hasn't been shy on his willingness to retire, and he seems to be weighing whether he should return to the gridiron in 2022. 

“To my teammates, past and current, you are the icing on the beautiful cake we call our job; football,” Rodgers said in the post. “The friendships that we have will transcend our collective time in this game and I am so thankful for the role that each of you have played in making my life that much better. I love you guys, and cherish the memories we’ve made.”

Rodgers has yet to make an official announcement on his future, but that didn't stop Twitter from looking into it. Here are some reactions from fans and analysts across the NFL:

I am not going to try and pretend I know the meaning behind Aaron Rodgers' IG post...

I hope this isn't the end, but if it is, I've appreciated every second of his career with the #Packers and wish him nothing but the best.

Thank you, Aaron 💚💛 pic.twitter.com/bYr9EQyS16

Aaron Rodgers puts out an appreciation post & somehow it is taken as him being selfish

No matter what, he’ll always receive backlash for allowing others to see the kind of person he is/has become

Few years ago, he was “too quiet”

Glad to see he’s doing what will make him happy

My guess:

Aaron Rodgers is coming back to Green Bay. He understands the game so well knowing he played you all (not me) like a fiddle.

He will claim it was just a gratitude post & that the media is wild (knowing exactly what he was doing & boosting show numbers for the boys)

Rodgers, 38, is a 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time MVP. He threw for 37 touchdowns and just seven interceptions last season as he led the NFL in passer rating for the second straight year.
