I imagine fans would give him a chance if he'd keep his damned mouth shut.

but I don't know if that will happen.
You'd think he would want to retire with some dignity.

After last season's fiasco, it's a bit late for that!

Too much of a prima donna. That doesn't fly in Pittsburgh.

Just like they did with the Jets

Washed up QB is Deshaun Watson.
These headlines are a hoot.

(20,048 posts)11. Raiders had no interest in Aaron Rodgers
Now that Carroll has Smith, Rodgers definitely won’t go to the Raiders. The Giants remain the most likely destination, mainly because there’s no other obvious choice.
The Steelers made the most sense. They’ve shown no interest, either. Unless the Seahawks are secretly planning to go after Rodgers (unlikely), who is there? The Browns, Colts, and Titans are the only other possibilities — and if any of those teams want Rodgers, they’re keeping their cards extremely close to the vest.
In the end, it might be the Giants or nothing for Rodgers. Or maybe he waits until after the draft. Or maybe he stays in shape and waits for a starter on a contending team (or, if he has decided he wants to play without regard to the quality of roster, any team) to suffer a season-ending injury.
Back to the Raiders, it would be fascinating to know why Tom Brady’s team didn’t want Rodgers. Over the years, some have said Rodgers would have won even more Super Bowls than Brady in New England. However, Rodgers’s overall personality and approach doesn’t seem to mesh with pro football the way Brady learned it.
And while there’s good reason to believe the 41-year-old Rodgers still has gas in the tank, his skills might no longer be at a level that justifies dealing with the rest of the Aaron Rodgers Experience.

I figured your Aaron Rodgers thread would be the most appropriate place to send this message!
