Each year Love Headquarters is a loss of that rookie contract benefit in Green Bay.
With high dead money implications if cut, Rodgers will likely be a Packer over the next two seasons. So who knows?
“I have no ill will about it,” Rodgers said of the Love selection. “Was I disappointed? Of course who wouldn’t? I wanted to play my whole career in Green Bay. I love the city. I grew up there, really, I got there when I was 21. , I’m 36 now. You know, a lot of changes during that time. But listen, I get it. I see it clearly, and I’m not bitter about it. That’s just what it is. “
The 37-year-old knows that if he wants to continue his career until his forties, it’s probably in another state. Many greats of all time have donned different colors. Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath, Brett Favre – the man Rodgers took over – and most recently Tom Brady this year, to name a few.
The only jersey Rodgers struggles to consider wearing if he leaves Green Bay: the Chicago Bears.
“Oh man, that’s a hard thought right there, man,” Rodgers said, chuckling at the thought.
