“They really don’t. They don’t have people in my inner circle who are sourcing, I can promise you that,” the 10-time pro bowler slammed hard on the faces of NFL insider Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“And anybody who would talk to them is not in my inner circle. It’s that simple,” Rogers concluded. It seems that the several rumors regarding his retirement don’t suit this veteran NFL legend.
Rodgers played 18 years for the Packers and won the Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP in 2010, along with four times each for NFL season MVP and NFL passer rating leader, NFL passing touchdowns leader twice, and NFL completion percentage leader once.
However, the star has not passed exceptionally well this season, scoring 26 touchdowns and passing for 3,695 yards in 542 attempts with a 91.1 passer rating.
His downgrade has stuck out like a sore thumb, and everyone has speculated about his retirement through the report. After this interview, it appears the Packers legend isn’t done yet.
