Coming off two tough seasons in New York and staring down his age-42 season, Aaron Rodgers simply could have called it quits, rode off into the sunset and enjoyed some peace and quiet after a Hall of Fame career in the NFL.
At times this offseason, the belief was that’s what he was going to do, especially as he dragged things out in free agency. But then, in early June Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, aiming to go out on his terms.
Since signing with the Steelers, he’s talked about why he signed up for one more year, citing the love of the game and wanting to give back to the game that has done so much for him.
