Rodgers isn’t sure what the future holds, but has cherished his time in Green Bay.

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, was positive that 2020 was going to be his last year with the team. He thankfully managed to squeeze one more season out, and would love nothing more than to bring home one more Super Bowl trophy for the team, but he’s aware that his time is coming to an end.

“Last year at this time, I was looking at the season as my last year in Green Bay,” Rodgers told Peter King of “Pro Football Talk.”

“It was a little strange the first couple days,” Rodgers revealed. “I came back knowing . . . Really, the reason I came back is because I felt like I could be 100 percent committed to the team and 100 percent focused and locked in. Knowing all the different responsibilities that I have, including side conversations with the Josh Meyerses of the world. I was ready for that and that’s why I decided to commit, come back.”

Rodgers genuinely loves playing for the Packers, and confessed as such. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back. I’ve got so many other things that I love and I’m passionate about. I love competing. I love practice, still. I’ve had a really good camp. Last year I felt like I started a little slow and then something clicked. I’ve actually had a really good camp here. I feel good about where I’m at.”

During Aaron Rodgers’ stroll to #Packers practice this morning in his golf cart, Rodgers stopped for this young Packers fan named Jacob. He talked to him for nearly 5 minutes.

Rodgers’ love extends to his teammates and staff. “I have a really good relationship with the staff. Once you get into the football season, those are the most important relationships because you’re talking with them every day. I’ve always had a good relationship with Matt when it comes to play-calling and installs and stuff I like. Then obviously having [offensive coordinator Nathaniel] Hackett, who’s a close friend, in the room, and [passing game coordinator Luke] Getsy. Those are the most important relationships.”

Rodgers isn’t quite sure what’s coming in the future, but for the time being, he’s content being with the team he loves so much.
