When a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback unexpectedly invokes the future of his career, it’s a statement. And more often than not, it falls into one of two categories.
Either the player is contemplating a significant personal decision, or he’s questioning the organization’s dedication to him.
Boiled down, that’s what leads elite quarterbacks to curl a question mark around the throat of their offseason. And Aaron Rodgers did exactly that on Sunday night, speaking in gray tones about what comes next for both him and the Green Bay Packers franchise.
Lest anyone say Sunday’s disappointment left Rodgers with a clouded view on his future, it’s worth noting that it was the second time this week that he painted an opaque picture about what it might be.
