Aaron Rodgers is speaking out for the first time since he emerged from his Sky Cave Darkness retreat last week. Instead of speaking to the Green Bay Packers, he spoke on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast.
Tyler Dunne of Go Long shared the quarterback’s comments in which he referenced the uncertainty around the team when Brett Favre came back after retiring.
“I spent parts of a couple of days imagining what it would be like to retire, and then imagining what it would be like to continue to play,” Rodgers said.
The veteran quarterback made it clear that a decision on his career will come ‘soon enough.’
“But I’m not looking for somebody to tell me what the answer is,” Rodgers said about his looming decision. “All the answers are right inside me. I touched many of the feeling on both sides in the darkness. I’m thankful for that time. There’s a finality to the decision. I don’t make it lightly.”
Xuan Thai of ESPN reported “the 300-square-foot room in which Rodgers spent his time is a partially underground structure devoid of light, with a queen bed, a bathroom, and a meditation-like mat. It is fully powered, and the lights can be turned on from inside the room.”

It seems speculation about his career has become an annual tradition dating back multiple years. Every year, he seems to always return to the only NFL team he has ever known and won back-to-back MVPs in the 2020 and 2021 campaigns.
However, the 39-year-old is coming off a down season when it comes to his standards. Green Bay missed the playoffs in 2022 while Rodgers threw for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
The previous year, he threw for 4,115 yards, 37 touchdowns, and four picks.
