Aaron Rodgers: ‘I think there’s good young talent on the team’ 

I haven't yet decided exactly how I feel about it, but I do believe that this chapter in Packers history has come to an end. Thank you, Aaron. My father passed away last year, and I'm so thankful that you and Brett helped ensure that we would come together and get to know one another better every football Sunday for three decades. Cheers.

I was 70-30 on Aaron's chances of wanting to return before watching this. The last 10 seconds, I am now 30-70. If it is the end, thank you Aaron. So many of us in WI have some wonderful memories because of you. Gratitude.

That felt like a goodbye and if it is, TY 12 for all the memories, even the heartbreaks. No one else I'd rather have had as our QB for the last 15 years. Well all see you in canton, where you belong.

I'll cry when he retires. This is the QB I grew up with and looked up to and I love this guy

Whether he comes back for one more or not, I love this guy and appreciate all that he has done for the franchise and all the memories!

You can feel the emotion at the end😢

Yea that last minute just gave me chills. Aaron got us the super bowl in '11 when i graduated highschool. But ive watched favre since i was 5 years old. This gave me peace as a fan, thank you Aaron.

You’re the best Aaron. No matter what you do, where you go. You’re forever our QB and we will support you anywhere💚💛

No matter what, #12 is our QB. We love you Aaron. Always be you ❤

So thankful for the years we had with Favre, then so fortunate to have Rodgers all these years. Lucky to be Packers fan. That being said, I've heard you have to love someone to let them go and I think it's time to let Aaron go. If he wants to continue to play, I think let him pick his destination and get what Packers can. Yes, salary, yes contract, I know all that, but I think Aaron has earned that. If it's the end, THANK YOU AARON!

I love this man. This MVP. He is so smart and talented and I personally believe his heart is huge for the Packer nation. He’s one class act. Best wishes Aaron .. may your journey be all that YOU want it to be… no matter what road you take. I’ll continue to be a 4ever fan of you. 💚💛💚

Love Aaron and hope he’s coming back! Go pack go!

Rodgers is and always will be my favorite athlete. Love that guy!

I'm not a crier but this interview got me. I never met 12 but somehow the way he spoke and the things he shared he felt like a friend.

Im proud to have grown up watching Brady, Big Ben, Drew Brees, Payton Manning, Elli, Manning, Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the NFL greats of the past 20 years. Absolute legends…

His reaction and answer to the last question at the 19:05 mark. Poignant.

I'm not a packers fan I'm a broncos fan But I've always enjoyed watching aaron And being in awe of his raw talent n growth The guy is the most gifted passer I've ever seen One part of me celebrates his greatness if this is the end And the other part of me will never understand how such A gifted athlete only squandered one championship That is the puzzle that is the great Aaron Rodgers

The memories have been great. You will be missed Aaron. Wish you well in your endeavors and hope you enjoy your retirement. Wish we coulda got 1 more. You had a great run and will forever be remembered. No1 will wear 12 again. Thank you.

As a vikings fan I have nothing but respect for Aaron, the guy is a super talent. I feel bad for whoever has to fill his shoes someday because I'm guessing Green bay has very high expectations after having 2 great Quarterbacks like Favre and Aaron.

#12 will always be my QB 💚💛🧀

You are a champ always will be in my heart hope you come back we love you 12 go pack go

Packers fan here. This interview was poignant and I could feel Aaron's pain @ possibly losing his peer group. His entire life has been geared towards excelling in football and it will likely be a tough landing when he decides to retire. He would have to give up the built-in comaraderie, the limelight, endorsements will end, 'friends' may lose interest, etc. I hope he is seriously looking into what would give him meaning after football ends. There will be a grieving period. Once it ends, though, he will be better able to be himself.

No matter what Go Pack Go ..love AR12 he's my 🐐❤️

This guy is hands down a solid guy man

Dudes dressed like he's ready to explain why vinyl is better than mp3

Saddened, however I get it and I really wish Rodgers the best. Goes to show it takes a Team to win games. 💚💛💚💛💚💛

Class act on and off the field. The thing I most respect about Rodgers is he thinks for himself and has no interest in conforming to what others think he should be and do.

One of the best to ever do it

“I’ll miss the guys, I’ll miss the fans” got me. Love you 12. Thanks for everything!

COME BACK AARON. We love you and want your back. You have done so much and Green Bay would not be the same without you and besides I want to come to Lambeau next season (for my second time) and watch you play. DON’T GO!!!!

💚💛#12🫅 4ever!!! We love you Aaron!!!

I think we can all appreciate the insight Aaron gives. No other QB tells it like it is, like him. Open book. He's the man.

Lions fan here, he's a class act.

That last answer and walk off was epic lol if it is done I'm so thankful I was here for the whole ride!

Hats off to them Lions. Got to give respect where respect is due! Still though, go Pack! 🧀

This man has given us everything he has for 18 years..show some ducking respect people.

Retire while u still have your health Aaron. It's a business, but ppl want the players to treat it like it's life or death.

I’m a Buccaneers fan, and I know Rodgers has had a lot of disappointing losses in the playoffs. However, he will go down as a top 5 qb of his era without a doubt

that last 30 seconds was wholesome asf, Aaron is the goat

This could be the very last game Rodgers plays in green and gold. If so all I can say is thank you 12.

I love Aaron but I think a big question is why we are terrible on third and fourth downs and unable to get touchdowns in the red zone.

He's the best I ever saw play the position. Not the most successful, but accuracy, arm strength, throwing on the run - the best.

A great foot ball player

Don't feel like you are holding anybody hostage, Jordan Love can do his time on the bench one more year, learning from a legend, just like you did! Love you forever and a day Arron, do what feels right.

We LOVE you 12# !!!! Go Pack Go!!! ❤️

As a Patriots fan still coping with losing Brady, I wish Packers fans the best.

NFL with no Brady and no Rodgers is like a closed chapter in a greatest NFL era😪

This interview is why I dislike the media so much. They hear what the man says, and keep asking different variations of the same thing. Eventually he will make the decision, on his own time frame. Aaron Rodgers is a class act and in my opinion a Hall of Fame player, he was just knocked out of the playoffs, give the man a chance to breath….

He wants to do 20 years with the Packers and that’s it, if the packers don’t want him I don’t picture him wanting to play elsewhere. He wants to hold it over Brett’s and every other recently great QB that switched teams. Much like Kobe without the team success he doesn’t seem to be a ring chaser but will make it known if he isn’t happy. Difference is the Lakers organization went out and retooled for Kobe multiple times which led to greater team success. The years wasted by this organization is criminal, not just wasted Aaron years but Brett as well. Kinda similar. Great teams early SB wins. Followed by average years(moreso Brett) but then now towards the end of both their careers great teams formulating. Reminds me of the 06 going into the 07 year.

That’s my quarterback 😢

One of the SMARTEST and most REAL guys in the NFL.

Gotta love Aaron Rodgers!

Rodgers is a legend with whatever he decides.

I've never seen such a super gifted quarterback that is a generational talent always have all the blame put on his shoulders for every big loss. Yes he wears his heart on his sleeve and has the eye rolls or bad body language at times. He has had some crazy plays that were killers in the Playoffs that were beyond his control like him bringing the team so close to victory and then the botched onside kick recovery and the defense letting him down many times in the past. He hasn't always played perfect either. I just don't understand how we never put every loss on greats like Marino, Kelly, Elway, Favre, Brees, etc when they lost a lot of big games and Marino or Kelly never even won a SB and Elway didn't until Terrell Davis came along. Let's not forget all the magic we've seen Aaron perform on the field as one of the best throwers of the football we've ever seen and he has a SB ring. The Packers are a team that has wasted back to back generational talents because they basically never go all in using free agency or trades to put the pieces around them but always choose to build through the draft. If u don't like Aaron for whatever reason, that is fine, but don't put every loss on his shoulders when football is the ultimate team game and u didn't treat the other greats so harshly. He does share part of the blame at times and doesn't deserve a free pass but use your brains and not your personal feelings or bias towards the man.

I know a lot of drama comes with Aaron Rodgers...but with it has come some GREAT football memories...and some bad ones as well. Packers fans are really lucky to of had this guy as well as Brett as your guys QB's the over the last while. I hope he comes back for 1 more year...if he wants to come back for another year...Packers fans should welcome him back with open arms.

Rodgers isn't going anywhere. If he was very set on retiring he would announce it, he's coming back.

That last Q&A! Dang.

We will see this Man❤ win The Super Bowl... ...in Tampa over the next two years..!!..🤫 Greetings from Frankfurt❤ Germany

We love you Aaron you’ve gave us winning records for countless years we packers fans are jus spoiled whether active or post retirement I support 12 always

ARod is one of the greats I think somewhere close to Tom, if this is it then ARod really had one of the most classic NFL careers. Winning superbowls MVP's and bringing up topics that many players of his position won't, Respect to one of the GOATS!

Whatever he does and wherever he goes. Whether if he stays or if he leaves, 12 will always have my heart. I will support him through and through. Not only my favorite athlete of all time, but one of the most interesting and romantic persons. He has brought light to a lot of things that can help people. Nothing but love for 12. For ever and ever, the GOAT.

Kind of sad, he left podium about to tear up. He will be missed in G&G as he said on Pat M. show

Very patient a professional you area great man

IT'S BEEN REAL RODGERS!

Cmon ARod just one more Super Bowl appearance at least with the pack

I want one more season with this guy and the developed new guys and then I want Love

Go Packers, I really hope Aaron comes back for another year but time will tell.

He’s staying and we’re having a winning record next year no doubt

The feedback of the mics makes it sounds like a small fire burning in the background.

Packers organization please don’t let this man walk away yet !!!!!!

We (I ) love you no matter what❤

So eloquent! Respect

Don’t go Aaron!! I just love the way he plays win or lose. He’s among the tops in my book. Don’t get me wrong, Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, and the like are great QB’s of today. But I just love watching the now fading breed of the old school QBs- Rogers, Brady, Young, Elway, Montana, Brees, Marino, Farve, Jones, Theisman, even (Stabler and Bradshaw although I could not stand either team) just to name a few. One day like so many things the old schools will be just a memory and a video clip.

If you look at his eyes... they flicker after that last minute. Then they just relax, almost like relief. It pains me to see you strained by the team you loved. It was an honor to live with you after Brett Favre

He can't be the Whole Team that Lost. Many Mistakes were made by The Team Members, he is Still one of the Top 5 Quarterbacks in the NFL.... He should play with the New Talent another year.

He'll be back. Packer for life

Keep Rodgers! He's one of the most talented QB's of all time. Just put the pieces he needs around him.

It was time.....a few years ago!!!! I love all the "me and I" comments.

what i got out of this is that if we dont pick some players up over the offseason hes gone but thank you 12

Where we are today. This press conference says it all.

Come back next year and practice more with the receivers. One more let's go!

How do you win 4 in a row , have everything go right for you and then play like that?

For the first time ever, I believe Aaron does have a part in the blame for the worst season we've seen in a long, long time. However, the franchise has been nothing but ungrateful to him, we literally wasted the prime of one of the greatest QB's the game has ever seen, and unlike many others, I'm nor very positive for what the future has to offer. J. Love is NOT the answer to our problems, and he is most definitely not the future of the franchise. If you think otherwise, come back to this comment next January.

Man is hellbent on not being viewed the way Favre was at the end. I think he will graciously step aside, if thats the decision from the team. Gotta give #12 credit for that.

Give Aaron one more season. He can’t go out on an interception and a season led by rookies and with a broken thumb and ribs. One more for redemption

Sam old play, "talk about me leaving so you don't talk about how I lost". Can't blame him, it works every time.

Time for a qb change! Stop living in the past! Love is the future!

Definitely felt like a goodbye at the end - he’s still got more than enough Arm talent. I just think he needs to move on to a real contender next year.

He’s a hall of fame if you look at all of his stats together you can see the amount of int he threw and look at others

ML&R to 12..I always knew he was going to be succesful after 4 but just like when 12 took over for 4, I believe 10 deserves his chance just like 12 got his after 4. Nothing personal in this game it's a business.

Perhaps the greatest REGULAR season quarterback of all time.

I am a 72 year old woman who has been a faithful supporter of the packers and Rodgers for his whole career until yesterday after the loss to the lions , I am now questioning that. It is not the loss so much, it’s the packers did not even show up. It was obvious they did not care, they were loose with the ball, they showed no love for the game. They make so much money so it is so disappointing watching the team end the year like this where going home and warming your feet up is more important. I feel really bad for all the packer fans who were at the game. They certainly did not get there moneys worth.

When Green Bay stops playing PRE-Season football, they will win again. Go Pack Go!

The defense can only do so much without the offense playing strong as well. The play calling was atrocious on the offensive side of the ball for the entire first half of the game. The defense, overall, was spectacular.

Yes. Let's put all our decisions on hold while you decide what you want to do... look how well that worked at the beginning of last year.

Ungrateful fans

Hey Aaron you are a great one Seahawks fan here

He look's like a man that's beat down. Football is the toughest game there is especially for quarterbacks. You have to be mentally tough and physical to last in the game. Your IQ can only get you so for in this game. What ever he decides it has been a grate run.

He’s not a diva. The media asks the questions and writes all the stories about him. Top 5 QB in the league! How do you replace him? Without him this team would have a lot more losses this year

should joint Devante Adams and bring some glory days for the Raiders!
