A big question this NFL<\/a> offseason has been whether Aaron Rodgers<\/a> will return for Year 21 or if the four-time NFL MVP will retire.<\/p>\n

And he might have dropped quite a hint about his future on Friday.<\/p>\n

During an appearance the YNK podcast<\/a> with Mike Stud, Rodgers was asked by a fan if he\u2019d consider playing for the Chicago Bears \u2014 his longtime rival while Rodgers quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, but I believe there\u2019s a team that might play in Chicago this year, for a road trip.\u201d Rodgers said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know, I\u2019m not sure, I\u2019m going to check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

That team, of course, could be the Pittsburgh Steelers, who play the Bears on the road in Week 12.<\/p>\n

Rodgers did, however, rule out the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m too old,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t want to live in Louisiana. Sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers has been connected to the Steelers essentially the entire offseason. The two sides met in March, but left without a deal in place.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old told \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d in April <\/a>that he was dealing with personal things that needed his attention more than football. He elaborated a bit more when he appeared on \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>\u201d that people he\u2019s \u201cbeen in the weeds with\u201d have cancer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when the four-time NFL MVP will make his decision, but ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter predicted it will come sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that we\u2019ve heard Art Rooney, the team owner, say he expects Aaron Rodgers to sign there, and they have mandatory minicamp June 10th to the 12th,\u201d the NFL insider said on ESPN Milwaukee<\/a>. So, I would think that Rodgers is on the table here in the next week or so.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A big question this NFL offseason has been whether Aaron Rodgers will return for Year 21 or if…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7,1167,249,2326,2094,6,3846,208],"class_list":{"0":"post-78478","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-new-england","10":"tag-new-england-patriots","11":"tag-newengland","12":"tag-newenglandpatriots","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nflraw24","15":"tag-patriots"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114569895238521105","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
