Aaron Rodgers Hasn’t Informed Jets, Packers of His Decision, per Report

The saga continues.

Speculation around quarterback Aaron Rodgers’s next moves has run rampant since the Packers' season-ending loss to the Lions on Jan. 8.

As the NFL’s legal tampering period opened Monday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shed light on the precise holdup to negotiations over Rodgers’s future: a lack of information from Rodgers himself.

"The Packers are open to trading him. Rodgers has two options: retire or go play for the Jets," Rapoport said. "Playing for the Packers is still technically a possibility, it's just not considered likely at this point."

Rodgers has only played for the Packers since they drafted him with the No. 24 pick out of California in 2005. He has won four MVP awards and Super Bowl XLV with Green Bay.

“Rodgers just hasn’t informed any of the parties involved what he wants to do, and until he does there’s no reason to get engaged in anything,” said Rapoport, who quipped that a Rodgers decision would improve his quality of life. “We’re just waiting.”

In February, Rodgers embarked on a well-publicized “darkness retreat” in Oregon, ostensibly to gain clarity toward his football future. That decision has yet to be revealed as fan angst continues to grow in Wisconsin, New York and beyond.
