OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fosco33]

Ok - so they decided to score the TD with a min left instead of making Jax more time and timeouts. They can score a tying TD with a min and 2 timeouts. Kinda odd

Looks like the farewell tour for AaRon with the way other teams are shaking his hand.

I'm assuming he's not going to be a Jet next year. Is there another team that would be a logical landing place? Or is he gonna retire like this? Man, father time... It really sucks we never got the proper revenge tour. I think the injury stole his mobility.

I don't think there is. It would have to be a good team in need of a QB. I don't think that team exists unless Stafford retires. Vikings will likely bring Darnold back.

The only likely spot is 9ers

They don’t want him. Injuries and age have made him Vinnie Testeverde at the end of his career. He’d be a decent veteran back up at this point in his career, able to help a team for a few games if their starter is injured.

I really don’t think that’s what Rodgers wants to do.

[NewsBruin]

I could see him at veteran-minumum Flacco duty, if needed, but I can't imagine a sane and well-balanced GM spending the salary-cap space and young-QB development time to pay Rodgers anywhere near what he's earned in any season.

So you are saying he's going to the Bears.

I don't think Rodgers's ego would allow him to be a backup, and maybe not even a stop-gap starter for a year - unless he's chasing stats.

He's got Tom Brady on one stat - most QB sacks.

Will be interesting to see what Woody decides, Rodgers still has an arm, but his legs are gone which impacts his accuracy and ability to move in the pocket. If he's released, he's a better Flacco if his head is screwed on straight. He's kind of radioactive with his personality and platform on McAfee to spout lies and nonsense. I have a hard time seeing him being open to being a backup. The QB draft class looks not great, but there will be several QBs hitting the market (Darnold, Cousins, Justin Fields, maybe Derek Carr and Daniel Jones?) It could be a case of musical chairs and Rodgers is the one without a chair. He could just sit tight until summer when some team has an injury or gets desperate.

[Joemailman]

Most of the country will be getting Miami at Jets on Fox late. Probably a meaningless game. Fox billing it as maybe Rodgers' last game?

[call_me_ishmael]

I definitely will watch at least some of it. Hard to make time for games these days at this stage of life, but I don't want to miss the last chance to see Aaron Charles Rodgers play. I think he's gonna be done.

[Fritz]

They will speculate and speculate and speculate, which is what much of modern sports coverage consists of.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, scheduled to interview Tuesday for the team's head coaching vacancy, is convinced he will land the job.

If it happens, he says he will put an end to the Aaron Rodgers "country club."

Ryan, appearing Monday morning on ESPN New York radio, ripped the future Hall of Famer for skipping the team's mandatory minicamp last June to take a vacation to Egypt. He also criticized the organization's "abysmal" leadership for condoning it.

"Clearly, when you have a guy that doesn't show up for mandatory minicamp -- and, by the way, he's your quarterback, coming off an injury -- I think that's an absolutely ridiculous message you send to the team," Ryan said during a spot on the "DiPietro & Rothenberg Show."

"If he comes back, things would be different. If he's back, it ain't gonna be the country club, show up whenever the hell you want to show up. That ain't gonna happen. I'll just leave it at that," Ryan said.

Rex Ryan is really putting his foot down.
