ā€œSince Friday, my intention was to play for the New York Jets. It’s my intention to play for the Jets, but I have a contract with the Packers. I’ve been good. The darkness gave me time to contemplate everything. It was a great reset for me. For my body and for my mind. It was longer than I needed. The meditation was incredible because there were no distractions for me.ā€

After his darkness retreat, Aaron Rodgerswas convinced to come back and play football for the Green Bay Packers. However, the quarterback found out strange operational movements by the organization which were crucial for him to go and play for the New York Jets.

ā€œIn 2020, they (Packers) took Jordan (Love) to replace me. You drafted Jordan. If I didn’t have won two MVPs, we could have had this conversation. They (Packers) get rid of players a year early rather than a year later. They drafted a guy toreplace me, maybe not right away. A lot of people who were at the beginning, they’re not there anymore (Green Bay) as decision makers.ā€

There was some shopping going on. They wanted to move me. For me, the Packers were ready to move on. There are no victims here. I love Green Bay. I love the fans.ā€
