Stephen A. Smith on Aaron Rodgers’ retirement talks
“I’m disgusted with Aaron Rodgers… You signed a three-year, $150 million extension. Now, you say the expectation was a Super Bowl. I’ll go one further. The expectation was at least that you were going to remain a Green Bay Packer… Everything he does now, has us questioning how sincere and truthful he was, years ago” Smith ranted.
The Packers gave Rodgers a huge contract extension but seeing that the team will be in rebuild mode yet again and with Rodgers turning 40 next season, the 4-time MVP may need to consider calling it quits or join a team that does not need so much work.
