Pat McAfee has dropped a huge announcement regarding star NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers ahead of the 2024 NFL season that many fans will appreciate.
Rodgers ruffled plenty of feathers during appearances on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ earlier this year, especially when he suggested that Jimmy Kimmel’s name might have been on the “Epstein List.” So, there have been questions over whether he might return for another go-around.
It appears that all is well between ESPN and the QB, as McAfee has revealed that he’s very likely to return.
The former NFL kicker indicated as much during media day at ESPN’s campus in Bristol, Connecticut, revealing the Jets star will be back for a fifth season and is expected to make weekly appearances on his show.
“There’s a good chance that you probably see Aaron on Tuesdays again,” he said, per Colin Salao of Front Office Sports.

There Were “A Lot Of People” Who Didn’t Want Aaron Rodgers Coming Back
Rodgers has stirred some controversy on McAfee’s platform over the last few years, with the Jimmy Kimmel saga just one of many borderline topics he’s discussed.
McAfee admitted on Wednesday that he had heard the criticisms regarding the segment but pointed out that Rodgers will be on the “Mount Rushmore of NFL quarterbacks,” and having him on is of immense value.
“I don’t know if that’s journalism or not, in your guys’ eyes, but I think it’s certainly provided something useful for sports fans,” he said in quotes cited by Deadline.
The popular show host, who left FanDuel for ESPN last year, also disclosed that there were “a lot of people asking for it to not happen anymore.”
However, it doesn’t appear that the calls for Rodgers to remain off the show have done much to dissuade him since we will be getting more Aaron Rodgers on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ in 2024.
