Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers announced during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that he will not be making a final decision regarding his football future today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Rodgers addressed the intense speculation surrounding his appearance immediately, telling the audience, “Anyone on here expecting me to make some big decision on here, just turn it off right now.” The quarterback's comments effectively end rumors that a trade request or retirement announcement was scheduled for the broadcast.
During the interview, Rodgers was effusive in his praise for Mike McCarthy, the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the connection to the new coaching staff, Rodgers maintained that there is currently no set deadline for his final choice. He noted that there are still several conversations to be had down the line before he reaches a conclusion about the next steps in his career.
