Watch Aaron Rodgers' Uncertain NFL Future and Retirement Talk - SportsGrid on Dailymotion

Transcript

00:00an update kind of on Aaron Rodgers he went on the Pat McAfee show yesterday formerly of the

00:06Sports Grid Network and we thought maybe just maybe in that 10 plus minute interview he would

00:12say where he is going to play football next season he did not in fact he kind of avoided the topic

00:19all together he said he is still contemplating retirement focusing on his personal life it's not

00:25about the money he has told teams that he would take a generous pay cut and play for only 10 million

00:31dollars only 10 million dollars quote I'm open to anything and attached to nothing retirement could

00:38still be a possibility focus on personal life shut up dude shut up you're 41 years shut up

00:47yeah no look let's get to the basis of this whole argument right now if he really wanted to play

00:53football he'd be on a team right now he's either trying to hold out hostage for somehow to get

00:57Minnesota and backstab J.J. McCarthy and get him to be traded so he can take over Minnesota or again he

01:03just doesn't care like the Pittsburgh Steelers are telling him right now look we got a quality

01:07offense with some weapons over here we just need a quarterback we got a defense we have a history of

01:11winning football games we haven't won a Super Bowl in a while maybe you could be the missing key and get

01:15lightning in a bottle have a good season we can make a run into the playoffs and obviously that's

01:19not nearly good enough for Aaron Rodgers or he'd already be there because the Pittsburgh Steelers

01:23aren't coming out with Mike Tomlin is a very opinionated head coach and a good way and it's

01:27refreshing which he's not saying we're not taking Aaron Rodgers like they clearly want Aaron Rodgers

01:32the ownership group with the Roonies they're saying like hey we think we're in a good spot with Aaron

01:36Rodgers do you understand what you're talking about now Pittsburgh Steelers you're in a good spot a

01:40quarterback with absolutely no options in the NFL and you're trying to convince him to play quarterback

01:45for you do you hear how that sounds it should be Aaron Rodgers actually already moving as I said to

01:50Pittsburgh even if he didn't have a job with them and holding a sign outside the Steelers you know

01:55practice facility will work for free I just want to play football and it's not happening right now but

02:00also the Jets move Ben right where he flies cross country how many times do we take a look like a sales

02:06meeting it's like you know what yeah I don't know if I still want Aaron Rodgers to be my quarterback

02:10but I'm going to get him in the room and I just want to feel the vibes like Aaron Rodgers walked in

02:14that building with Aaron Glenn and said I'm your quarterback you need me I need you let's figure

02:19this out and let's get after it for the next two years I'll even help you if you draft a quarterback

02:24but we can win here in New York and instead Aaron Rodgers probably showed up put his feet on the desk

02:29and he's like you know you need me here but I'm not sure I want to be here and then you know Aaron

02:33Glenn goes get the GM in here we're going in a different direction get out of here which is why Aaron

02:37Rodgers goes you know what you could have told me that on the phone no that was actually a sales

02:41opportunity for Aaron for him to actually get in the room with Aaron Glenn and sell him on the notion

02:46that he still should be that quarterback not the other way around love what the Jets did
