NFL fans will be watching closely this offseason to see what Aaron Rodgers decides to do with the next step in his career – will he pursue another year in the league or call it quits?
Rodgers had two tumultuous years with the New York Jets, playing just one full season and throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns. The team was 5-12 on the year. If he chooses to play again, Rodgers would be 42 next December.

Brett Favre, Rodgers’ predecessor with the Green Bay Packers, told TMZ Sports in a recent interview that he believes there is still some juice left in the 10-time Pro Bowler.
“I think I’m right in saying he’s got a lot of juice left in the tank,” he said. “”… I just think he can still play. You saw it in the last game. You say, ‘Well, where has it been?’
“That’s the Aaron Rodgers we know. He makes every throw, guys respond to him, love to play with him. Where has it been all year?”
Favre admitted he was “wrong” about how he thought Rodgers would have fared with the Jets.

“If there’s a little inkling in him that wants to play and prove he can still do it at a high level, then I’d say go for it,” he added.
Rodgers showed glimpses of what he could bring to the table, but the lack of consistency ultimately plagued the offense.
On top of that, the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas in the middle of the season.

Both the Jets and Rodgers have a ton of decisions to weigh in the next few days and weeks.
