Aaron Rodgers, former Green Bay Packers quarterback, spilled plenty of tea in his latest appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Thursday. Rodgers not only revealed his current mental state about his decision on joining any particular NFL team, but also mentioned the salary that he would be ready to play for.
Rodgers has been linked to several NFL teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Giants and even the Cleveland Browns. There were also rumors that Rodgers was actually holding out for an offer from the Minnesota Vikings.
“I told every single one of the teams, it ain’t about the money. I said I’ll play for $10 million. Whatever. I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility. Focus on personal life.” Aaron Rodgers said on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Thursday.

While Aaron Rodgers has still not named his next NFL team, there are many who say that the veteran quarterback will only sign with a team that is sure to win the Super Bowl. At 41 years old, Rodgers has won only one Super Bowl ring so far, and will be eager to add another piece of jewelry before officially retiring from the sport.
Rodgers played college football for Butte College and the California Golden Bears before being eventually picked up by the Green Bay Packers as the 24th pick in the first round of the 2005 NFL draft. However, his performance in the last season for the New York Jets was terrible, which led the team to let go of him last month.
