According to his own statement, the career of NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers comes to an end.
On Tuesday, Rodgers was once again a guest at the Pat McAfee Show. There he let the bomb burst. “I am very sure that in 2025 my last season will be. That is why we only concluded one year contract. The Steelers did not need to hang it up for more years. So it was really a matter of ending my career with a lot of love, fun and peace,” said Rodgers.
The quarterback was obviously closed with its career. “I played 20 damn years. It was a long time. I enjoyed it and there is no better place to end it than in one of the cornerstones of the NFL with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leader and great boys in the city that is expected to win,” said the 41-year-old.
And Rodgers also underpinned this attitude during the conversations. He only receives $ 13.65 million for the one -year contract addressed. For a quarterback with the quality and experience, this is the notorious “peanuts” in the NFL comparison.

NFL: Aaron Rodgers has “no pressure”
The impression arises that Rodgers definitely want to play another year to end his career with style after two disappointing years at the New York Jets. However, the quarterback quickly wiped this impression away.
“I love the game and we have a wonderful relationship with each other. It was my first love when I was 6 years old and dreamed of playing quarterback and being in the Super Bowl. I wanted to be at the Minicamp when I decided to be there, but I didn’t need to be there. I have no need to prove something and I don’t have any pressure on my shoulder either. Not, “Rodgers explains his motives.
Rodgers actually doesn’t have to prove anything anymore. In his 20 years in the NFL, he was elected to the MVP four times, won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 2010 and reached ten per bowl.
He holds various franchise records among the packers who were draped in 2005. He threw most of the touchdown passes (475), recorded the best complete rate (65.3%) and the best Passer Rating (103.6). Only when it comes to yards (59.055) and Completions (5001) does he have to put back behind Brett Favre.
