PAT McAfee has opened up on the “very serious things” Aaron Rodgers is having to contend with in his personal life.
The Green Bay Packers legend made his first public appearance in months on Thursday afternoon.
The 41-year-old went onto the Pat McAfee Show, where he talked about his future in the NFL.
He refused to rule out retirement, while also revealing talks with a number of teams.
Those include discussions with Mike Tomlin at the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants.
But Rodgers also spoke of the issues he has been suffering off-the-field in recent months.
He was axed but the New York Jets earlier this year, and has been off the radar since.
And the veteran QB hinted at family problems taking up the majority of his time at present.
This is understood to be why he has yet to make a final decision on his long-term future.
McAfee confirmed this with his remarks straight after his live ESPN interview with Rodgers ended.
“That is what it sounds like,” said McAfee when pressed if it was likely the QB was heading to the Steelers.
“Not only is it due diligence, he wouldn’t say it there, it’s very serious the things that are happening to people to close to him.
“I think he probably didn’t want to make a decision, do it all, knowing that he was going to be absent.
“Not only physically but like, mentally.
“Very serious things, I almost feel like, I’m not going to say, but very, very, very serious things.
“Not for him, but people close to him and he feels I think, compelled, people that have been around him a long time and have had a lot of things happen to them that are very very serious.
“I think he was very up front with people like ‘I don’t want to do this’ and then be absent.
“I don’t think he liked how big that story got last year about the OTAs.
“I think he wants it to very much work if he is going to continue to play.
“He said he is open to retirement, which potentially is something, but he is going to want it to have success.
“It sounds like he is a fan of the Steelers and hasn’t had time to make a decision or time to commit to a football team and be their quarterback with everything going on around him.”
Rodgers has hit free agency after being cut by the Jets in February following two injury-plagued seasons.
The Super Bowl champion revealed he would want around $10 million a year to sign with a new team.
And he also gave a rare insight into his love life, announcing a romance with a mystery new girlfriend called Brittani.
