McAfee has Rodgers on "The Pat McAfee Show" for a weekly
interview spot, including during the NFL season. On Tuesday's
show, he said he was told Rodgers could not make their usual
Tuesday spot.
"That's because Aaron Rodgers is meeting with the Packers today
and tomorrow," McAfee said. "These are said to be lengthy
meetings. We don't know what's going to come from them."
Rodgers, 39, is at the center of speculation that he could
retire -- or force his way out of Green Bay, where he has played
his entire 18-year NFL career.
He was caught on NBC's mic Sunday night telling Detroit Lions
wide receiver Jameson Williams that he didn't want to do a
jersey swap with him because "I gotta hold on to this one."
Asked after the game about the exchange, Rodgers said, "I think
I might have told him I'd give him a jersey when we played in
Detroit, so I'll probably have to send him a jersey. But there's
just some special ones that I like to keep. So it was nothing
against Jameson. I'll make sure I send him one, but I kind of
want to keep this one.
"There's just certain jerseys you like holding onto like, you
know, playing Chicago or (playing a) big Sunday night game, so
just a little bit different I guess."
In the spring of 2021, it was reported that Rodgers vowed he
would not play for the Packers again. Assuaged by the front
office, he came back and won his second straight MVP and fourth
of his career that season.
The following offseason, Rodgers signed a contract extension
that kicks in in 2024 and keeps him a Packer through 2026.
General manager Brian Gutekunst is scheduled to meet with
reporters Friday.
