Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he wants to retire with the Green Bay Packers and end his career at Lambeau Field.
With the 41-year-old set to face his former team on Sunday Night Football, the quarterback outlined some of his retirement plans on Thursday during a Zoom call with Green Bay reporters.
“I was there for 18 years,” Rodgers said via ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. “Regardless of when I hang it up, that’s the bulk of my career. I’ll retire a Packer and see what happens after that.”
Rodgers also said he had “some of the best years” of his life in Green Bay and has “nothing but love for the organization.”
