Aaron Rodgers discusses how long he intends to play

Aaron Rodgers

Could Aaron Rodgers continue playing quarterback in the NFL into his 40s? He’s not ruling it out.

Rodgers appeared on Friday’s edition of “The Rich Eisen Show” and gave his thoughts on how long he could continue playing. The Packers quarterback initially joked that he’d “win the Super Bowl when I’m 45 and ride off into the sunset,” before suggesting that he’d play as long as he was physically and mentally capable.

“I envision playing as long as my body feels good and I have the love for the game that I do right now,” Rodgers said. “Still fuels me, still the passion, and I still love the daily grind and the practice and the preparation. If I can give everything to a team in that manner and my body feels good, I’m going to keep rolling.”

The question to Rodgers was interesting given how much he empathized with Andrew Luck’s physical issues when the Colts quarterback retired. Rodgers is 35, and figures to have several years left. Statistically, at least, he has shown no sign of slowing down. He passed for 4,442 yards, 25 touchdowns and just two interceptions last season. He is under contract with the Packers through 2023.
