Aaron Rodgers' darkness retreat is officially over and the wait is on regarding a decision on his playing future. Rodgers already reportedly has something planned with the Green Bay Packers though, as the star quarterback and the team are going to have a meeting to discuss his future, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN.

Russini adds that Rodgers is likely to be the first domino to fall in this offseason's quarterback carousel, which makes sense given his stature as a four-time NFL MVP.

For insight on the best landing spots for the NFL's top free agents, listen below:

Rodgers had said that he entered the darkness retreat hoping that it would give him “a better sense of where he's at with his life.”

The 39-year-old quarterback is under contract with a $59.465 million guaranteed salary for the 2023 season if he suits up for the Packers.

Rodgers had seemingly left the door open for his potential retirement from the NFL, as well as a potential future without the Packers, who he has spent all 18 years of his career with.

Rodgers had said in January that he wouldn't “hold the Packers hostage” with his decision.

Green Bay president Mark Murphy seemingly added to that sentiment when he said he hoped that a decision would come before the start of the free agency.

Rumors have swirled around Rodgers, who has been linked to the New York Jets and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Jets have actually inquired about a Rodgers trade, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

In addition to rumors about external teams, conflicting reports have emerged about the Packers' true feelings on Aaron Rodgers, setting the stage for what figures to be a shocking decision regardless of the outcome.
