The Packers QB plays Brady and the Buccaneers this coming Sunday on America’s Game of the Week on Fox. This past Wednesday, while speaking to the Wisconsin State Journal, Aaron Rodgers admitted that he doesn’t have another eight years in him. He also said that he has given his all to the game.
Addressing Brady in particular, Aaron Rodgers said that Brady has not dropped off. He also opened up about the fear that every player has of becoming an also-ran. The star quarterback may also have dropped a hint that the Packers aren’t convincing him to stick around:
Why Aaron Rodgers won’t play as long as Tom Brady
Tom Brady has something driving him beyond the money he generates playing as a starting QB in the NFL at a Pro Bowl level. His wife Gisele Bundchen has a higher net worth than what he does. He’s also got a $375 million broadcasting contract from Fox coming at the end of his playing career. So what keeps him playing goes beyond revenue?
Brady has stated that he is chasing greatness and hoping to surpass Michael Jordan in championship rings. He has surpassed MJ already. So, proving he was the reason New England won six titles during his time there was his doing and not Bill Belichick’s is his new goal.
Aaron Rodgers has won just one Super Bowl. His Packers are routinely eliminated early from the postseason. He doesn’t have the same reasons to stick around, and retiring soon could ensure that he, unlike Brady, remains with one team his entire career.
