With all eyes on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after their 31-26 win over the Green Bay Packers in Sunday night's NFC Championship Game, it's easy to overlook Aaron Rodgers and the tremendous effort he put up to try and will his side to victory. After the game, however, an understandably frustrated Rodgers dropped a huge hint pertaining to his future in Green Bay.
Rodgers seemed to have hinted at a potential exit from the Packers in the offseason with this cryptic post-game message (h/t Matt Schneidman of The Athletic):
Aaron Rodgers: “A lot of guys futures, they’re uncertain, myself included.”

For a Packers fan, that's certainly the last thing you want to hear after a heartbreaking loss. Rodgers is easily the best player on the squad, and despite being 37 years young, he is still undeniably the heartbeat of this team.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Rodgers has come out with an enigmatic statement pertaining to his future in Green Bay. He has been non-committal about staying on with the Packers, and this latest statement only adds further fire to the flame. If you ask Green Bay head coach Mat LeFleur, however, he seems to believe that Rodgers still remains to be his team's quarterback of the future.
Rodgers finished Sunday's defeat with 33-of-48 completed passes for 346 yards. He also scored three touchdowns against just one turnover. It was another noteworthy effort from the three-time All-Pro QB who is well on his way to his third MVP win this season.
Needless to say, Rodgers' future is something that will be the stuff of headlines throughout the offseason.
