Aaron Rodgers could have given up and resigned himself to not winning the Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was Mike Florioâs perception of the veteran quarterback during an interview with 93.7 The Fan.
âThey always have a camera close to the action and they show you the quarterback. The Bengalsâ game, he look irritated the whole time. On Sunday Night against the Chargers, he had more of an overall attitude of resignation. And was it, âitâs not our nightâ, or is it âitâs not our yearâ, or is it âIâm just done and Iâm not going to get what I thought I was going to get here in Pittsburgh. Weâre just not a playoff team. Weâre not good enough to contend with these other playoff teamsâ. I just feel like he is accepting something. He definitely had just kind of an acceptance that seemed like he was recognizing, âThatâs all folksâ.â
The Steelers have lost three of their last four games with enormous inconsistency. For example, the defense had a debacle against the Green Bay Packers, and then the offense was terrible in the game against the Chargers.
Is Aaron Rodgers retiring from football?
Aaron Rodgers could retire from football if Florioâs theory turns out to be true. Even though the quarterback has shown he still has the potential to be an NFL quarterback at 41 years old, the wear and tear of a full season and constant training could take a toll on him if there is no success at the end of the road.
Itâs important to remember that before the 2025 season, Rodgers took a long time to decide whether he would play or not after the New York Jets showed him the door.
Once he became a free agent, many rumors linked him to the Los Angeles Rams if Matthew Stafford left the team. That didnât happen. After that, reports indicated that the Vikings could sign him, although head coach Kevin OâConnell preferred to bet on J.J. McCarthy. In the end, both the Steelers and Rodgers ran out of options and decided to give each other a chance.
