Aaron Rodgers announced that the upcoming season will be his last in the NFL. The 42-year-old quarterback made the statement public in recent days. NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero suggested the timing was deliberate.
Pelissero said on The Rich Eisen Show that Rodgers chooses his words carefully. He added that the announcement puts the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room on notice to give full effort because it is Rodgers' final year. The quarterback reportedly weighed retirement before opting to return for one more campaign.
