Aaron Rodgers is Reportedly Seriously Considering Retirement

The saga in Green Bay is getting more interesting by the hour.

It all started yesterday afternoon when news broke that Aaron Rodgers is unhappy with the Packers and wants out.  There were reports that the Packers told Rodgers they were going to trade him this off-season, but changed their mind.

Things quickly escalated with rumors that he was going to be traded to the Broncos (this could just be a Mark Schlereth CTE report).  Who really knows?  Rodgers hasn't been traded and the Packers claim they're not going to trade him.

The latest, from Ian Rapoport (not a CTE riddled brain) that Rodgers is strongly considering retirement.

If Aaron Rodgers retires (to host Jeopardy or just retire), he would have to repay the team $11.5M this year and $11.5M if he remains retired next year — all from his signing bonus. Unless the situation is repaired to his liking, this is a serious consideration, I’m told. https://t.co/kEQwpexqX0

I was joking yesterday when I placed the blame on his fiancee Shailene Woodley, but apparently I wasn't the only one.  How could I be?  It's too much fun to watch social media meltdown over it.

Green Bay Packers fans getting mad at Shailene Woodley for Aaron Rodgers getting frustrated with carrying that team for years is predictable. The new significant other always gets blamed in sports. pic.twitter.com/wBiNHQq6Vf

Dear #packers fans blasting Shailene Woodley for AR wanting out of GB,

Cut the shit.

She didn’t force AR to carry the team on his talent alone for 10 years with little to no help from the team drafting around him. Packers had every chance to draft around a HOF talent & blew it

People are doing to Shailene Woodley what they did to Jessica Simpson. No woman is responsible for any man's actions or decisions. He is a grown ass man.

Shailene Woodley said if you think I am leaving LA to go live in Green Bay you are out of your mind.

Shailene Woodley really came in and told #AaronRodgers that there's no way she's living in Wisconsin 😂
