Green Bay Packers quarterbackAaron Rodgersmight not be surewhenhe’ll retire, but he “definitely” knows where he’ll be when his career comes to a close.
During the Packers' minicamp on Tuesday, the 38-year-old offered a look into his plans when he was asked if he intends to retire with the franchise — the only team he has ever played for in the NFL.
“Yes, definitely,” Rodgers said, according toESPN.
The comment comes just days after the four-time MVP toldTNThe could “definitely see the end [of his career] coming,” despite signing acontract extensionwith the Packers until 2026.
“When you commit, you’re 100 percent,” Rodgers told TNT, according toCBS Sports. “But the older you get, the interests change, and the grind, I think, wears on you a little more.”
He added: “The football is the easy part. That’s the joy. It’s the other stuff that wears on you and makes you think about life after football.”
The quarterback spoke highly of the organization and his teammates during this week’s minicamp despite an apparentriftbetween him and Packers' executives over the last two seasons.
“I love being around the guys,” Rodgers said, according to ESPN. “[It’s] just nice to be back in the building with these people.”
