Well he better start drinking 37 glasses of water a day.

I didn't realize AVP was let go. Either way, if AR wants to play that long, they'd better build some depth on their o-line.

Rodgers is far too injury prone for that to happen

I should have phrased that better...he has had the type of injuries that typically cause the body to breakdown before playing that long...see Romo, Tony for details

Brady wouldn't be left publicly describing the firing of his QB coach without his input as an "interesting change"....

Rogers snaps his collarbone every couple seasons so it's not happening, sadly...

In his case I don't believe that money is the driving factor.

Every couple of seasons.

He is underpaid compared to a lot of the new contracts...I'm sure he wants to keep playing for the next big contract. Not saying it's the only reason but it's up there...

[Prickly Pete]

He already looks 50. Look at the guy compared to Brady, it's obvious he doesn't take as good of care of himself, and is aging at a quicker rate than Brady.

I'd most enjoy it if they brought in a hot-shot replacement and handed him the starting job forcing Rodgers to have to vagabond it for the last 4 or so years of his career on other teams.

No reason for tears as he's been well compensated and will do just fine when it's time for an extension: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/aaron-rodgers-3745/

There's always the XFL. Edit: Or maybe just for a year.

If that’s what he wants he’s going to have to stop holding the ball for 30 seconds

Extending plays is a huge part of his game, so I wouldn't expect that to change.

I know. Not the best for longevity though. 

 

Peyton was getting out out so fast in his late 30s I think he went entire games untouched
