Aaron Rodgers 'definitely' retiring with the Packers, opens up on his future

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has opened up about his future with the organisation and how he expects to end his career.

The Green Bay Packers struck gold when they found Aaron Rodgers in the 2005 NFL Draft, even if it took them a few years to put him into the side whilst they waited for Brett Favre to retire, but he has certainly been worth the wait as they were able to transition from one Hall of Fame quarterback to, more than likely, another. 

With 55,360 passing yards and 449 touchdowns under his belt in a career that has seen him win a Super Bowl back in 2010 and 4 NFL MVP awards during his career, he has thrust himself into the discussion of the best quarterback of his generation, and if he’d have just managed to grab a few more Lombardi Trophies, the G.O.A.T debate with Tom Brady might have been a little bit closer.
