Aaron Rodgers Reiterates He Won't Play Until He's 45

Sep 22, 2022 8:38 AM

Ahead of this weekend's matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Aaron Rodgers has reiterated that he won't play quite as long as Tom Brady.

Brady is 45 and Rodgers said this offseason that he won't be playing until he's that old.

Rodgers noted that you try to stay as long as you can "when you've achieved at a high level for a long time," but said he still thinks he'll be on to something else before he reaches his 45th birthday.

"I won't be, I'll be doing something else," Rodgers said. "I have a lot of other interests outside the game. Game's been really, really good to me. I feel I've given my all to the game. At some point, it'll be time to do something else, and I strongly believe that'll be before 45."

Sep 15, 2022 8:42 AM

Lamar Jackson is finished talking about his contract situation, declining to answer three questions Wednesday that were related to his stalled negotiations with the Baltimore Ravens.

"Respectfully, I'm done talking about it," Jackson said. "I told you guys before, I was going to be done with it Week 1. Week 1 is over with. We're done talking about it. I'm focused on the [Miami] Dolphins now."

It was reported over the weekend that Jackson turned down a five-year extension offer from the Ravens worth more than $250 million with $133 million guaranteed at signing.

Rams Wanted To Sign Jimmy Garoppolo If Niners Cut Him

Sep 12, 2022 8:39 AM

The Los Angeles Rams lurked as a potential destination if the San Francisco 49ers had cut Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason, according to league sources.

Garoppolo remained with the Niners after the two sides agreed to a restructured contract.

The quarterback had the makings of a deal with the Rams in place had he been released.

The Niners didn't learn about the Rams' interest until after they agreed with Garoppolo on a one-year deal worth up to $16 million, sources said.

"It was going to be such a Rams move to make," a member of the 49ers organization told ESPN. "Sean McVay and Kevin Demoff would have been basking in it."

Tom Brady On Future Beyond 2022: 'You Just Never Know'

Sep 9, 2022 8:36 AM

When asked about whether 2022 will be his final season, Tom Brady left all options on the table.

"I think we're all getting one day older at a time, so, you know, we're all not sure whether we're gonna be here next year or not," Brady said. "That's the reality for every player, every coach, every parent. You just never know. So we should all take advantage of the opportunity that we have, which is the one we have in front of us now."

Brady, 45, is coming off an offseason in which he retired only to return to play 40 days later. He also took an unexplained 11-day break from camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in August.
