Rodgers unsure about retiring as a Packer

Aaron Rodgers is on the fence about whether he wants to end his NFL career as a member of the Green Bay Packers.

A fan asked the free-agent quarterback about potentially retiring as a Packer at a live taping of the "Ya Neva Know" podcast Friday, and Rodgers questioned how much it would affect his legacy with the franchise.

"You know, I've thought about that and I don't understand what the reason for that is," Rodgers said. "At the same time, I grew up a Niner fan and most of my favorite players retired as a Niner. Jerry Rice, who went to three other teams, came back and retired as a Niner. So I understand the cool thing about it, but if I didn't do it, would that make a difference in how I'm viewed in the Packers' eyes?"

Rodgers spent the first 18 seasons of his NFL career with the Packers, leading them to a Super Bowl championship in 2011. He left as the franchise's all-time leader in career passing touchdowns with 475 and ranks second behind Brett Favre with 59,055 passing yards.

"When I retire, in four years I'm going to go into the Packer Hall of Fame," Rodgers said. "May or may not get my number retired - whether they do or not, that's fine. ... There's a lot of love from me and how I feel about the team. If I do or if I don't (retire as a Packer), I don't think it should make a difference. I'm not sure yet. If they approach me about it, I probably would."
