What is the current status of Aaron Rodgers' NFL career?

Dan Le Batard 0:08
I want to talk for a second about something Aaron Rodgers related here that I was laughing because the other day, Mina Kimes was sort of dragged away from Aaron Rodgers has spoken on Pat McAfee and retired quarterback who's not retired, who is not that wanted and not that good anymore, trying to make a decision on a lot of bad offers and maybe one in Pittsburgh, but not one in Minnesota. The free agency of Aaron Rodgers who would play if somebody appeared with a job offer that made him feel like a good quarterback. But instead, he is only in the news to continually make news. Mina Kimes was pulled away from the conversation we were having to react to the breaking news of Aaron Rodgers' speaking.

And has done it so many times that she is made weary by there is no new ground to be covered here. He was bad at playing quarterback last year. And now he's not terribly wanted, but he's famous and he's infamous. And this ending is going to be intriguing if unwanted. And so now Aaron Rodgers exists basically, Zaz, to just be something that is the last embers of what kind of conversation can we make around old, famous, tired, quarterback?
Zazz 1:26
I think he's going to retire. I don't think he's playing anymore. I think he's going to retire and I think stringing it out like this works in his favor where he can make it sound like I decided I don't want to play football anymore. Like he said with the Jets, the Jets asked, do you want to play football? He said, I'm interested. And now he doesn't know because he's got things going on in his personal life that That's why there's no timetable with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think he's going to eventually make it sound like, not that he was pushed out, but he ultimately decided head's not in anymore. I think he's going to retire.

I found his quotes on his ending with the New York Jets to be pretty fascinating. And like is usually the case when he joins Pat McAfee, totally lacking in self-awareness. He took exception to being flown in across the country on his own time to meet with Aaron Glenn and have Aaron Glenn not waste his time. Like Aaron Glenn just said, hang on one second. Let me go bring the GM in here. Um, Well, he made it sound like they were mid-conversation and Aaron Glenn ran out. And he's like, let me get to our GM. Look, Aaron, our plan here is to not bring you back. Now, it's weird that Aaron Rodgers, of all people, takes exception to this could have been an email. Considering how much he likes to draw things out, I imagine he was stunned that not everybody else operates that way.
Mike 2:48
And I would get it, Aaron, if this were Green Bay. But to Aaron Glenn, you're Tim Boyle. You're very clearly not a part of their plans. If anything, they did you a great service, so you can draw this out however long you want. They didn't waste any of your time. I found it to be very weird. It sounded like he was taking a shot at Aaron Glenn for how Aaron Glenn treated him. Aaron Glenn owes you nothing.

Why is Aaron Rodgers' breakup with the New York Jets controversial?

Zazz 3:11
He was very disrespectful to me was the attack that he took. The Jets owe him nothing. Aaron Glenn owes him less than nothing. And by the way, if this took place over a phone call, you know Aaron Rodgers would have said, you didn't even have the guts to tell me face to face.
Dan Le Batard 3:30
Let me take up the other position, though, here, because I do understand how it is that Aaron Rodgers would receive all of that coldly. And you guys saying he owes them nothing. They owe him nothing. He gave two years at the end of his career to that franchise and thought he did so with all of the power in the world. That he would not be disabused in those two years, you don't have that power anymore, you deserve the respect of this meeting to be more human. I understand why he would crave a two-hour conversation a human connection but you guys are saying nope at the end this is how cold employment gets we just sever our ties and in this instance it's interesting for to hear aaron rogers plead for humanity and respect he's asking he's feeling that's all disrespectful in its coldness it sounds like he was craving a preamble
