Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been no stranger to the news this season. Rodgers said during the summer that he was “immunized” against COVID-19, but then he tested positive during the season and it was revealed that he didn't get vaccinated. He later commented on his vaccination status, saying that the “woke mob” and the NFL were out to get him during an infamous appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, among other attention-grabbing headlines.

Well, it appears the Aaron Rodgers saga isn't ending anytime soon. Former NFL quarterback and current media personality Boomer Esiason revealed on the air that he received a text from a trusted NFL source saying that Rodgers will threaten to boycott the Super Bowl if the Packers make it:

It should be noted that this is a rumor, but would it surprise anyone after the kind of comments Aaron Rodgers has made this season? Per Esiason, the Packers star could threaten to sit out the Super Bowl and the following season if the NFL doesn't eliminate certain parts of their COVID protocols.

In particular, Rodgers dislikes the fact that the NFL requires asymptomatic players to be tested. According to the rumor, Rodgers has apparently told Packers backup Jordan Love to “be ready” if Green Bay makes it to the Super Bowl.

While this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, it's still something to think about with the playoffs nearing. The NFL — and the sports world — would be set on fire if Aaron Rodgers and the Packers made it to the Super Bowl, only for Rodgers to threaten to sit out the game.

As wild as this Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl rumor is, would it really surprise anyone if this situation went down?
