00:00Aaron Rodgers turned 41 last month, his future, you know, up in the air and it's always the

00:09million dollar question.

00:10What do you think?

00:11Does Aaron still have something left?

00:12Well, he's got something left and I spoke up, you know, at the start of the year and

00:16said that a healthy Aaron will make a big difference for the, for the Jets.

00:21What they went three, four games, you know, so I was wrong, but I think I'm right in saying

00:28that he has a lot of juice left in the tank.

00:34Will he play?

00:35Will, will, will a team, will the Jets or another team take a chance on him?

00:40I can't answer that.

00:41I just think that he still can play.

00:43I mean, you saw like this last game, you go, where's that been?

00:47I mean, that's the Aaron Rodgers we know he's making all the throws, you know, the guys

00:54are responding to it and love playing with him.

00:57Where's that been all year?

00:58I, you know, I don't know, but I think he does have some, some juice left in the tank.

01:03How hard is it to make that, you know, decision to know when is when, and maybe not to want

01:08to go out the way, the way the season ended.

01:10Yeah.

01:11I think for Aaron and I haven't talked to him, but I think that he's probably contemplating

01:18a couple of things, you know, he had the Achilles.

01:22You don't want to go out like that.

01:24So you come back, you come back healthy, ready to go.

01:28And it doesn't, it certainly didn't go the way he had planned or nor the Jets or the

01:34Jets fans had planned a healthy Aaron.

01:37We're going, you know, we're going to compete for the playoffs, but that didn't happen.

01:42So do you, if you're Aaron, do you say it's another year that I don't want to go out like

01:48that.

01:49And I know I still can play, but there's a lot of things that go in, you know, for me

01:54a lot of it was family as well.

01:57But physically I was beat up.

01:58I knew that I'd had enough.

02:00I don't know where Aaron is with his mindset.

02:03I just know that he still can play.

02:05It's just a matter.

02:06Does he want to, and does he want to give it his all and does the team want to take

02:11a chance on him?

02:12He's the same.

02:14He's the same age.

02:15You are your last season.

02:16If, if he was to ask for advice, you know, what would you, what would you tell Aaron?

02:21If he asked me, I would say, look, if you want to play, if there's, if there's anything

02:26in your gut that's telling you, man, I think I can go one more year, then I would say,

02:32do it because you can't go back.

02:35You know, once you, once you leave, that's it, you know, then, then you move on.

02:41And so if there's any little inkling in him that wants to play and prove that he can still

02:47do it at the high level, then I would say, do it.

02:51Yeah.

02:52Yeah.

02:53Yeah.

02:54Yeah.
