Aaron Rodgers made clear early in the show that “there will be no decision” about his future today. The 38-year-old said his Instagram post was nota farewell messageas many people believed. For him, it was simply a gratitude message and not some ‘cryptic’ post like others suggested.
“I don’t think about that before I post something like that,” Rodgers said. “I think unless you’ve gone through certain experiences and had frustration and been near the bottom and then get near the top and understand the beauty in life, then you might say things about that, it’s a ‘cryptic message.’ I mean, there’s nothing cryptic about gratitude.”

Rodgers said he just came out from a 12-day cleansecalled panchakarma. “I just came out of a 12-day cleanse where you’re in a specific diet and you’re going through these treatments every day. You don’t really do anything else, you got to kind of turn everything else off, you’re not working out, you’re not straining or anything, it’s kind of re-centering… So when I come out my first though is this intense gratitude for the people in my life.
“I was going through some old pictures from the last year and felt an intense amount of gratitude for the life that I have, and for the lessons that I’ve learned and for the growth that’s happened over the last year and the people who’ve been a part of that journey,” Rodgers added.
