Aaron Rodgers-Green Bay Packers split? From Johnny Unitas to Peyton Manning, history shows it would be nothing new

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When Aaron Rodgers signed his most recent contract -- a then-record $134 million extension in 2018 -- he posted a message of thanks to the Green Bay Packers on his Instagram account. Among the hashtags at the bottom of his post was #packerforlife.

In the NFL quarterback world -- even the one where future Hall of Famers reside -- #forlife is a subjective time. In Rodgers' case, it might mean only three more years from the time he signed.

If Rodgers never takes another snap for the Packers, the question becomes, does he retire or play for another team?
