Aaron Rodgers says he’s not ready to announce a decision about his future after a cryptic Instagram post increases speculation about the Green Bay Packers QB

More than 136,000 people were tuned into The Pat McAfee Show on YouTube Tuesday morning, awaiting the appearance of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers, who makes regular appearances on McAfee’s show, created buzz Monday night with an Instagram post expressing gratitude to the Packers and actress Shailene Woodley.

The reflective post amped up speculation about Rodgers’ future with the Packers — and interest in his appearance with McAfee.

But Rodgers quickly shut down the idea he would reveal big news.

“There will be no news today, no decision on my future,” Rodgers said, explaining he had just emerged from a 12-day cleanse and still was getting his mind focused again on what’s ahead.

Rodgers’ post included multiple photos, including one of wide receivers Randall Cobb and Davante Adams standing without him.

“To my teammates, past and current, you are the icing on the beautiful cake we call our job; football,” Rodgers wrote in the post. “The friendships that we have will transcend our collective time in this game and I am so thankful for the role that each of you have played in making my life that much better. I love you guys, and cherish the memories we’ve made.”

After the Packers’ playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers last month, Rodgers said he would think about what was next in his career, whether it be continuing with the Packers, requesting a trade or retiring.

“It’s tough to say at this point,” he said then. “I don’t think it’s fair to anybody or myself to really go down those paths at this point. It’s disappointing, sad and fresh. I’ll have the conversations in the next week or so and start to contemplate after that.”
