Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy praised Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday and said it’s just a matter of time until the team retires the four-time NFL MVP’s No. 12 jersey number.
“He was one of the greatest players in the history of the Packers, and we want to thank him for all he did during his remarkable 18-year career,” Murphy said, according to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman. “He will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and we will bring him back and retire his number at the appropriate time.”
The Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets this offseason, ending the quarterback’s decorated 18-season stint at Lambeau Field.
