Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers

Aaron Rodgers has yet to sign a contract with an NFL team, and alluded to playing with a team that "plays in Chicago" this season. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth ask if he will sign with the Steelers or not.

As the NFL world waits with bated breath to see what Aaron Rodgers will decide to do with his playing career, he spoke about the possibility of signing a one-day contract with the Green Bay Packers to retire with the team that chose him in the first round of the 2005 draft.

It is not uncommon for players to return to their original team, sign a one-day deal and eventually retire. It is all for ceremony, sure, but if Rodgers were to do it, it would seemingly bury the hatchet of perceived animosity between the star quarterback and the organization.

He was asked during a Q&A during a live episode of the "YNK Podcast" whether he considered that possibility.

"There's a lot of love for me and how I feel about the team," Rodgers said. "If I do or I don't (retire with the Packers), I don't think it should make a difference. I'm not sure yet. If they approached me about it, I probably would.

"I've thought about that, but I don't understand what the reason for that is. At the same time, I grew up a (San Francisco 49ers) fan and most of my favorite players retired as a Niner. Jerry Rice, who went to three other teams, came back and retired as a Niner, so I understand the cool thing about it, but if I didn't do it, would that make a difference in how I'm viewed in the Packers' eyes?"
