Aaron Rodgers surprised many when he revealed that he will be playing one more season with the Steelers. Rodgers originally meant to hang up his cleats for good after the previous football campaign, during which he was on a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh franchise. However, the veteran seems to have had a change of mind when it was announced that Rodgers will be staying in Pittsburgh for a year more. This seems to be Rodgers’ final season in the league with the quarterback clarifying this quite early during the offseason. It seems that Rodgers has actually thought this decision through, perhaps even more well now that he is a married man. In his latest appearance on ‘Not Just Football’, Rodgers admitted to Cam Heyward that he had to not only think about himself, but also his wife, Brittani. The quarterback also said that his wife had encouraged him to continue to play in the league when he discussed his retirement plans with her. “I mean, I leaned on my wife, obviously. And it’s, you know, like with your wife — once you’re married and you have family, it’s not just, ‘I think I’m going to play this year.’ No, your wife’s got to go through it. Your kids have to go through it, and you’ve got to be away from your family. And so I wanted to make sure that she was on board with it.” Aaron Rodgers said. https://youtu.be/HtDjQg4Kftk?si=-eEfwlM-_XPovalh From his words, it can be taken that Aaron Rodgers is strongly thinking about having kids with his wife, since he has already thought about this factor as he made his decision to play one more season with Pittsburgh. Aaron Rodgers Has Announced Retirement Numerous Times Before Aaron Rodgers is known for not only playing incredible football, but also for making retirement decisions by the dozen. It does not look like many are taking Rodgers’ decision to retire after this season seriously, mainly because the man has a penchant for kicking off retirement rumors a number of times in the past. Rodgers even announced ahead of the start of the previous season that he will be retiring from the game, but changed his mind soon after the campaign came to an end. However, with him about to turn 43 later this year, there is a strong chance that this time his retirement announcement might have actually been serious.
