アーロン・ロジャースは、来シーズンが自身のNFL最後のシーズンになると発表した。42歳のクォーターバックである同選手は、ここ数日のうちにこの意向を公表した。NFLネットワークのインサイダーであるトム・ペリセロ氏は、このタイミングでの発表は意図的なものだったと示唆している。
ペリセロ氏は「ザ・リッチ・アイゼン・ショー」の中で、ロジャースは自身の発言を慎重に選んでいると語った。また、今回の発表は、ロジャースにとって最後の一年となるため、ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズのロッカールームに対し、全力を尽くすよう促す意味があるとも付け加えた。報道によると、同クォーターバックは引退を検討した末、もう一年プレーを続ける決断を下したという。
