Following a cryptic Instagram post Monday night, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers joined The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and said he still isn’t ready to share his plans.
“Let me just put this disclaimer out there right away for the few people watching that are tuning in just for a specific, maybe news, and decision,” Rodgers said. “There will be no news today, no decision on my future. As I was texting with you yesterday, I just got out of a 12-day Panchakarma. … So I’m just getting my head above the sand right now and seeing what’s going on out there. But no decision about my future today.”
(We’ll let you google Panchakarma cleanse for yourself.)
Rodgers reiterated that he doesn’t plan to drag out questions about his future — whether he intends to return to Green Bay, request a trade, or retire — but noted there is a lot to consider. One thing he made sure to mention is Davante Adams’ situation, with the star receiver set to be a free agent (the window for teams to use the franchise tag opened Tuesday).
