Tension reportedly built between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy late in their 13-year tenure with the Green Bay Packers together. That’s led a lot of fans to believe the two men don’t get along or like each other.
But that’s not the case. Rodgers proved that point once again in just one sentence during an interview on Sirius XM Radio.
Rodgers spoke about his retirement decision this year and before previous seasons. The quarterback said he thought very seriously about hanging it up after 2025. Rodgers implied, though, that he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to play for McCarthy again.
“I was content in walking away, and then they hired Mike McCarthy, and I was like, ‘Oh, ok, maybe we need a full circle here,” said Aaron Rodgers.
The pair are reuniting for one final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers this fall.
