Aaron Rodgers thinks about his football future. His predecessor in Green Bay, who knows a thing or two about thinking about the future of football, has some advice.
“If you want to play, if there’s anything inside you telling you, man, I think I can keep going for another year Then I would say do it,” Favre told TMZ.com, via Christopher Cohagen of TMZ.com Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Because you can’t come back. Once you leave, that’s it. You move on. If he has even the slightest inkling that he wants to play and prove he can still do it at a high level, I’ll say ‘go for it’.”
Favre left several times and came back. But he kept coming back because he knew that, as he says now, once it was really over, it was really over.
Favre explained that he left for good after the 2010 season because he knew he had had enough. He also believes Rodgers can still do it.
His confidence comes from Rodgers’ performance in the Week 18 win over Miami.
“This is the Aaron Rodgers we know,” Favre said. “He’s making all the throws. Guys are responding to that. Where has that been all year? I don’t know. But I think he’s got some juice left in the tank.”
The other question is whether Rodgers wants the last two years to be his last in football, and whether he is confident that 2025 will end better than 2023 and 2024.
The Jets won’t even start making their decision on Rodgers until they have a new general manager and new head coach. Right now, it looks like Rodgers wants to move on, but he wants the Jets to be the ones to finish things off.
If that happens, Rodgers will have the opportunity to look for a spot for next year. There are likely to be options. The question is whether he believes the team he chooses has enough to allow him to finish the season on a high note before leaving for good.
