00:00Aaron Rodgers turned 41 last month, his future, you know, up in the air and it's always the
00:09million dollar question.
00:10What do you think?
00:11Does Aaron still have something left?
00:12Well, he's got something left and I spoke up, you know, at the start of the year and
00:16said that a healthy Aaron will make a big difference for the, for the Jets.
00:21What they went three, four games, you know, so I was wrong, but I think I'm right in saying
00:28that he has a lot of juice left in the tank.
00:34Will he play?
00:35Will, will, will a team, will the Jets or another team take a chance on him?
00:40I can't answer that.
00:41I just think that he still can play.
00:43I mean, you saw like this last game, you go, where's that been?
00:47I mean, that's the Aaron Rodgers we know he's making all the throws, you know, the guys
00:54are responding to it and love playing with him.
00:57Where's that been all year?
00:58I, you know, I don't know, but I think he does have some, some juice left in the tank.
01:03How hard is it to make that, you know, decision to know when is when, and maybe not to want
01:08to go out the way, the way the season ended.
01:10Yeah.
01:11I think for Aaron and I haven't talked to him, but I think that he's probably contemplating
01:18a couple of things, you know, he had the Achilles.
01:22You don't want to go out like that.
01:24So you come back, you come back healthy, ready to go.
01:28And it doesn't, it certainly didn't go the way he had planned or nor the Jets or the
01:34Jets fans had planned a healthy Aaron.
01:37We're going, you know, we're going to compete for the playoffs, but that didn't happen.
01:42So do you, if you're Aaron, do you say it's another year that I don't want to go out like
01:48that.
01:49And I know I still can play, but there's a lot of things that go in, you know, for me
01:54a lot of it was family as well.
01:57But physically I was beat up.
01:58I knew that I'd had enough.
02:00I don't know where Aaron is with his mindset.
02:03I just know that he still can play.
02:05It's just a matter.
02:06Does he want to, and does he want to give it his all and does the team want to take
02:11a chance on him?
02:12He's the same.
02:14He's the same age.
02:15You are your last season.
02:16If, if he was to ask for advice, you know, what would you, what would you tell Aaron?
02:21If he asked me, I would say, look, if you want to play, if there's, if there's anything
02:26in your gut that's telling you, man, I think I can go one more year, then I would say,
02:32do it because you can't go back.
02:35You know, once you, once you leave, that's it, you know, then, then you move on.
02:41And so if there's any little inkling in him that wants to play and prove that he can still
02:47do it at the high level, then I would say, do it.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Yeah.
