Aaron Rodgers opened up about what his future may hold on Thursday, as he revealed that retirement from the NFL remains a possibility as he weighs up his next step.

Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with Seattle ($33.5 million average annual salary). The Athletic's report noted Rodgers' asking price was "not expected to be a major stumbling block" for teams. Russini reported around the same time that the New York Giants were believed to have offered Rodgers the most lucrative contract.

The Jets and Rodgers were both fully committed to the project, aiming to end a harsh 14-year playoff drought, the longest active streak across all four major professional sports leagues in the United States. At this point in his career, Rodgers will be looking to avoid any risks.
