Aaron Rodgers: 'Definitely' will finish career with Green Bay Packers​

Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he doesn't know how many more seasons he will play admitting that the three-year, $150 million contract extension he signed in March shouldn't be an indicator, but he knows where he will finish his career. Packers coach Matt LaFleur initially wasn't sure how much work he would give Rodgers on Tuesday, but after seeing that the reigning MVP was in good shape, he allowed Rodgers to take part in almost every drill, including some 11-on-11s that were at a jog-through speed. The Packers are coming off three straight 13-win seasons but failed to reach the Super Bowl in any of them, including two losses in the NFC Championship Game. And now Rodgers has to deal with life after Davante Adams, the All-Pro receiver who wanted out of Green Bay and was traded this offseason to the Las Vegas Raiders.
