The information points out that Scott Berman, the owner of the place in southern Oregon, confirmed that Aaron Rodgers ended his darkness retreat. The plan for the quarterback was to spend at least four days and four nights not only to determine what happens with his career, but also with his life in general.

The options for Aaron Rodgers are many after his darkness retreat. He could stay with the Packers to honor his three-year contract of $150 million signed in 2022. However, considering he might not be happy with how things are going in Green Bay, a trade might be in place.

In this scenario, the New York Jets come in play. According to a report from Diana Russini, Robert Saleh’s team are following closely what Aaron Rodgers announces. If Rodgers decides to leave Green Bay, the Jets would immediately have ready a package trade to convince the Packers. Whether the quarterback accepts that destination or not, it has yet to be seen. If Rodgers is not available, Derek Carr becomes the top choice for the Jets.

Of course, the most rumored scenario are the Las Vegas Raiders. After Derek Carr got released, head coach Josh McDaniels is looking for a new franchise quarterback. For Aaron Rodgers, it would mean a reunion with stellar receiver Davante Adams in an offense which also has to work out a deal to retain running back, Josh Jacobs. Rodgers would be a major splash to compete in the AFC West.
