Aaron Roders said they have not committed to a new team – or even to continue their careers – because they are working with “difficult items” in their personal life.
The four -time MVP quarterback discussed his sudden departure from Jets, his meetings with Vikings and Steellers, ESPN’s “The Pat McAi Show” on Thursday discussed retirement and the possibility of other subjects during an appearance.
“I will set it straight,” Roders said. “By jumping, I am in a different phase of my life, I’m 41 years old, I am in a serious relationship, I have personal commitments … and people in my inner circle are struggling with difficult items. A big thing to make a commitment for a team.”
The Roders said that he is “not string with anyone” or is not out for more money than Minnesota, Pittsburgh or any other teams, which has expressed interest in his services to offsen.
“I told each of the teams, it’s not about the money,” he said. “I said I will play for $ 10 million. Whatever it is.”
“… I don’t think it is appropriate for steeler or anyone, while I am doing much work from the field. I want to keep the lines of communication open. People who need to know, need to know.”
After 20 seasons and 248 regular-season games, Rodgers said that walking away from the game is also an option.
“I am open to anything and are connected to nothing. Retirement can still be a possibility. Focus on personal life,” he said.
Returning from a torn Acilies last season, the Roders completed their 11 interception with 28 Touchdown for 3,897 yards and 11 interception with 17 starts (5–12 records) for jets.
The Roders said that when the jets opted to leave them in March, they were surprised.
He said, “I felt that when I fly to meet with jets across the country, the conversation was going to happen.” “We sat in the office and in 20 seconds, the coach (Aaron Glenn) said that we are going in a different direction. It is completely fine, but they could just tell me on the phone.
“… I was literally there for 40 minutes. I was not upset about it, but I was just surprised. I am still grateful for my time with jets.”
Roders, who spent their first 18 seasons with Green Bay Packers, are fifth in the passing Touchdown (503) and are seventh in the passing yard (62,952).
