Rodgers, who has spent 16 seasons with the
Packers and is considered one of the NFL's all-time greats, was
drafted by Green Bay in 2005 and won the Super Bowl with the
team in 2011.
The 37-year-old threw for 4,299 yards in the regular season and
finished with the league's best passer rating but saw his team
crash out in the NFC Championship showdown for the second
straight season.
"There's a lot of unknowns going into this offseason," "I'm
going to have to take some time away for sure, and clear my head
and just kind of see what's going on with everything.
"It's pretty tough right now, especially thinking about the guys
that may or may not be here next year," Rodgers told reporters.
"There's always change, that's the only constant in this
business.
"It's a grind to get to this point, and that makes the finality
of it all kind of hit you like a ton of bricks. A lot of guys'
... futures are uncertain, myself included."
Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur sid he hoped Rodgers would remain
with the Packers next season.
"The guy is the MVP of this league. He's the heart and soul of
our football team. He better be back here. He's our leader,"
LaFleur said.
