Aaron Rodgers' career, one of the most prominent quarterbacks in the NFL, might be coming to an unexpected end. After months of rumors and speculation about his future, it seems that fear could be the deciding factor in whether the Green Bay Packers player retires.

Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with Seattle ($33.5 million average annual salary). The Athletic's report noted Rodgers' asking price was "not expected to be a major stumbling block" for teams. Russini reported around the same time that the New York Giants were believed to have offered Rodgers the most lucrative contract.
