OK, so “can’t” is a strong word. Aaron Rodgers technically “could” retire. But he won’t. Why? If he does, he’ll be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame alongside Tom Brady.
He was never giving up $60M guaranteed regardless but there’s now a 0.0% chance Aaron Rodgers retires and plays second fiddle to the Tom Brady Hall of Fame celebration 5 years from now.

No way is Aaron Rodgers going to share that spotlight with the GOAT. Really, no one with a Hall of Fame shot should retire this offseason.
